Question

Mountain climbers set up camps at the base as well as at regular intervals along their climb. Why?

Options

• To acclimatize their bodies to lower concentration of air.

• To acclimatize their bodies to lower temperature.

• To acclimatize their bodies to pressure.

• All of the above.

Answer 1

All of the above.

Explanation:

Mountain climbers set up camps at intervals to acclimatize to:

• Lower oxygen levels (air concentration),

• Lower temperatures, and

• Reduced air pressure
  at higher altitudes. This gradual adjustment helps prevent altitude sickness.
