Yall Im struggling, if u cant read it, the question is “why does a mountain climber need an oxygen supply at very high altitudes, even tho the air still contains 21% oxygen?

Why does a mountain climber need an oxygen supply at very high atitudes, even though the air still contains 21% oxygen? A mountain climber needs oxygen supply at very high altitudes because the temperature and air pressure is lower than they are at sea level. ... The higher altitude the more thermal energy.

Explanation:

Because it is harder to draw breath in. And the cold

Explanation: At higher altitudes, it becomes more dangerous, and you can develop altitude-related illnesses such as HAPE and HACE. I read a book called Into Thin Air, and in the book the author goes into detail on the details/complications of climbing Mt.Everest and oxygen needs. Mountain climbers use canisters of oxygen called Supplemental Oxygen.

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.

yes

explanation

they do and it slaps
