How Might Conditions Change as You Dive Far Beneath the Surface of the Sea?……. Help Help?
How might conditions change as you dive far beneath the surface of the sea? How might conditions changes as you climb a mountain?
Describe the two diving suits you see in the picture. What advantages are there to the hard suit? Disadvantages?
in one picture there is this woman in a regulare suit and the other man is in this yellow big suit
Those pictures aren’t showing but I imagine that one of them is of a Newt suit or commonly called a hard suit. Advantages? The diver is at 1 atmosphere throughout the dive. No need for decompression , the only worry being the suit’s rated implosion depth. On the other hand, using a "normal" wet or dry suit, exposes the diver to increasing pressure as they descend. That , coupled with the breathing gas and time spent at depth, can require the diver to make one or more decompression stops on their way back to the surface. That takes time and breathing gas. The diver is also limited in the depth that they can go. Those hard suits are rated to 4,000 feet currently, I believe. A wet or dry suited diver is limited in depth by the gas mix and the effects of breathing that mix under pressure. There comes a point where even the most normally hypoxic mix becomes oxygen toxic under pressure. As an example, Saturation divers will never venture below 1200 feet. The pressure on their bodies isn’t what limits them, it’s the gas mix they breathe that does. A hard suit diver on the other hand, is breathing EXACTLY the same mix you are now and at only one atmosphere of pressure instead of many. No oxygen toxicity and no nitrogen build up.
Disadvantage of a hard suit? Price and the training you’ll need to operate one not to mention the surface support you’ll need.
As for climbing a mountain: Just think of climbing as ascending from depth. You’re going from a higher pressure to a lower one. If you were to be suddenly whisked from sea level to the top of MT Everest in a few seconds, you’d suffer exactly the same thing divers do when they ascend too rapidly. Micro bubbles forming in the blood and possibly a case of decompression sickness.
as you go lower in the ocean the pressure gets more intense and you would have to go up slowly or you would be crushed by the pressure one of the suited gives the protection of staying warmer but the hard suit makes it harder to move.
As you clime a mount in the same thing occurs the pressure gets more
