<u>Answer: </u>

Atmospheric pressure decreases as a person rises in altitude.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The pressure is the ratio of the weight of the air to unit area. So, as the height increases, the pressure decreases.
  • That is, the pressure is inversely proportional to the altitude. At such higher levels, the air molecules are very less than at lower levels.
  • Humans can survive up to 20,000 feet that are 3.8 miles above sea level.
  • This is due to the decrease in the oxygen rate called hypoxia, which means oxygen deprivation.

How did Israel respond to the PLO’s use of terrorist tactics during the 1970s? by granting Palestinians limited self-government
maxonik [38]
Israel responded by what is termed here 'terrorist' tactics of the PLO in the 1970's by raiding PLO bases in neighboring Arab countries. It must be realized historically that Palestine used to belong to the Arab Palestinians ie it was their country and it was stolen by the British colonialists and sold to the rich Zionists for their so-called homeland. If the Israel govt really wanted to live in peace with the Palestinians and be slightly modest that they took away their country, then they wouldn't provoke them with settlements in the little land left that the Palestinians have on the Westbank and they would live in peace and harmony with them and Israel could have both Arabs and Jews living in harmony.
