Solution
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them because there is deficiency of oxygen on mountains at high altitude.
Explanation:
With increase in altitude, the atmosphere gets thinner and the supply of oxygen is reduced. This causes difficulty in breathing on hill stations and mountains. Therefore, while climbing high mountains, mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders with them.
