Summary Introduction

To suggest: A reason due to which the given behavior would lengthen a diver’s air supply.

Introduction :It is given that the amount of time that scuba divers can spend underwater is restricted by some factors. These factors include the time needed to deplete the air supply in their tanks.

The amount of time that scuba divers can spend underwater is lim-ited by several factors, including time required to deplete the air sup-ply in their tanks. To make their air last longer, novice divers may be instructed to breathe slowly and exhale as much as possible on each breath. Can you suggest a reason why this behavior would lengthen a diver’s air supply?

Mountain climbers often use the expression “thin air” to describe atmospheric conditions at high elevation.  For example Jon Krakauer’s book Into Thin Air is about a deadly climbing expedition to Mount Everest.  What does it mean to say the air gets “thinner” as you climb upward?  Explain the reason why the air gets “thinner” with increasing altitude. Briefly explain why it becomes difficult to breathe in “thin” air. Your answer should include something about the human physiology of breathing and why it is more difficult when the air is "thinner."
