Answer:
Mountaineers carry oxygen cylinders while going to high mountain peaks because altitude increases as they climb the mountain. The amount of oxygen decreases as the altitude increases. The reason for the decrease in the amount of oxygen gas is because trees are not found in high altitudes. Therefore some parts of their body do not get sufficient supply of oxygen gas. Problems like dizziness and hypoxia may also happen.
