Question

what is the physiology effect of a sudden drop in pressure at higher altitudes​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depends on how fast the pressure drop is. A rapid decompression is a pressure drop so fast that you are forced to exhale, typically 0.1 to 0.5 seconds. Following the decompression you will suffer hypoxia and possibly frostbite or hypothermia from the temperature drop.

An explosive decompression happens faster than your lungs can vent, and results in overexpansion of the lungs and trauma to your internal organs. You are at risk of suffering a burst lung or gastrointestinal organ from barotrauma.

Answer 2

Explanation:

At low elevations, the pressure is greater, since the molecules of air are compressed from the weight of the air above them. However, at higher elevations, there's less pressure and the molecules are more dispersed
