    gasses‚ predominantly Nitrogen (78%) and Oxygen (20.9%). Although the percentages stay the same at high altitudes‚ lower atmospheric pressure creates "thin-air." When your body is exposed to "thin air‚" it compensates for reduced oxygen levels by increasing the bloods oxygen-carrying capacity‚ as well as its ability to use that oxygen. Specifically‚ your body reacts to the thin air at high altitude by: Increasing natural hormone erythropoietin (EPO) production = increases red blood cell mass for delivering

    protein. This protein helps transport the oxygen throughout the body. Hemoglobin is the reactant responsible for the equilibrium of the respiratory system. At high altitude the hemoglobin equilibrium becomes disrupted. An excessive amount of time spent in high or too low altitude impacts the hemoglobin equilibrium. Each time the altitude is increased the oxygen level decreases causing the mountain climbers respiratory rate increases because the oxygen that is being inhaled is dry air and not moist

    Temperature is one of the weather elements and measures the degree of hotness and coldness in a place. The temperature of a place is affected by a number of factors such as latitudinal location‚ seasonal variations‚ albedo of the place‚ contrasts between land and sea and elevation. Latitudinal location has the strongest influence on the climatic conditions on a macro/global scale. The rest of the factors then serves to modify these influences and are secondary‚ operating at a smaller scale. Latitude
