  1. no - because air floats


  2. im a mountain climber..though i experience lower oxyegn when i climb the highiest peak her in the philippines "MT. APO"..

    it is true,...that we have much need more oxygen in ground...and scientifcally, oxygen always float on the ground where living beings consume..the benefit of nature.. so save our nature..plant a tree.. so we can have plenty of oxygen!

  3. Silly Billy.....

  4. lol no, you would get less that way, too, because oxygen comes from plants, which are mostly on ground level, meaning that if you go above or below ground level, you get less oxygen!! :D

    lol I like your logic, too, though.

  5. too humid underground though

  6. NOT.......

  7. the problem with going undeground is that it gets hotter the lower you get.  And oxygen is limited too, unless you have a good ventilation system.

  8. No. The total concentration of oxygen decreases because the partial pressure of oxygen decreases as you go up in the atmosphere. There is the same percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere, but because pressure generally decreases with altitude, there is in essence less available to you.

  9. You don't notice much change in the oxygen until you are over 10,000 feet, before you could get that far underground you would be in molten rock.

  10. lol good question i have no clue
