Answer:
Mountains are very high up obviously higher then the ground. It is colder so it makes it easier for mountain climbers to get frost bite because of the high altitude.

Answer:
Frostbite can occur when the skin is exposed to extremely low temperatures and, occasionally, powerful winds that produce vasoconstriction.
Explanation:
- Frostbite is a wound caused by the tissues under the skin freezing. The frostnip stage, which is the initial stage of frostbite, does not cause permanent skin damage.
- Numbness and inflamed or discolored skin come next, followed by cold skin and a prickling sensation.
- When skin is subjected to extremely cold temperatures and, occasionally, strong winds, which causes vasoconstriction, frostbite may happen.
- The resulting drop in blood flow does not heat the tissue enough to stop the growth of ice crystals.
- Determinants of frostbite are improper tools, moisture, and wind. Dehydration, increased red blood cell count (polycythemia), and hypoxia (altitude) Blood flow restrictions include fractures and tight clothing or gear (such as a harness, shoes, or crampons).
