In summary: Most oxygen in the air is produced by algae, not rainforests. If all of the oxygen production in the world was stopped, and the remaining oxygen was completely consumed, then sure forest fires wouldn't be able to light. But then again we'd all be dead. Trees included.We need about 0.16 atmospheres partial pressure of oxygen to remain conscious.

Sorry, Pawel, but I have to take offense to just about everything you've said here.

Aircraft that fly at high altitudes uses turbines to compress the intake air. See "turboprop" and "turbojet" engines.

Don't be too offended by me taking away some oxygen from some of your idle views. I'm talking about standard jet engines, yes they do compress air by the rotary mechanics, however at the burn rate the oxygen levels are minimal in that altitude. So nonetheless it's impressive to note that air breathing engine that need oxygen do so well at such altitudes.

People who live at altitude are healthier? Do you have any research to support this claim, or is it just speculation?.

common understanding, p.e. knowledge & witness to seeing people in higher altitudes show they are more robust. Tibetans have a good record of lifespan & health in comparison. Like I mentioned before they need to do more work due to geography, air etc. continually excersizing & a cleaner exchange of air. Athletes from higher altitudes also portray much better performance while in lower altitudes as they thrive in richer oxygen as their bodies are adjusted to lower levels 'thin air'.

Go to www.google.com and type in "25000 feet in meters."


9000 m is 27,000 feet. Almost everyone on Earth will die at those kinds of pressure altitudes. Most people need oxygen to survive above 15,000 feet or so.

many people have climbed mount everest free of respiratory equipment which reaches close to the altitude u have indicated being almost impossible for a person.
 
<h2>1. What is deforestation and how does it impact the ability to light fires?</h2><p>Deforestation is the process of clearing or removing trees and other vegetation from an area. This can impact the ability to light fires because trees and other plant materials are often used as fuel for fires. With less trees and vegetation, there is less available fuel for fires.</p><h2>2. How does deforestation affect the availability of firewood?</h2><p>Deforestation can significantly decrease the availability of firewood. As trees are cut down and not replaced, there is less wood available for use as fuel. This can lead to a scarcity of firewood, making it more difficult for people to light fires.</p><h2>3. Can deforestation lead to a lack of oxygen, making it harder to start fires?</h2><p>Yes, deforestation can contribute to a lack of oxygen. Trees play a crucial role in producing oxygen through the process of photosynthesis.

1. What is deforestation and how does it impact the ability to light fires?

Deforestation is the process of clearing or removing trees and other vegetation from an area. This can impact the ability to light fires because trees and other plant materials are often used as fuel for fires. With less trees and vegetation, there is less available fuel for fires.

2. How does deforestation affect the availability of firewood?

Deforestation can significantly decrease the availability of firewood. As trees are cut down and not replaced, there is less wood available for use as fuel. This can lead to a scarcity of firewood, making it more difficult for people to light fires.

3. Can deforestation lead to a lack of oxygen, making it harder to start fires?

Yes, deforestation can contribute to a lack of oxygen. Trees play a crucial role in producing oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. With fewer trees, there is less oxygen being produced, which can make it harder to start and sustain fires.

5. What are some potential solutions to combat deforestation and ensure the ability to light fires?

Some potential solutions to combat deforestation include sustainable forestry practices, reforestation efforts, and using alternative sources of fuel for fires. It is also important to raise awareness about the importance of preserving forests and the impact of deforestation on the environment and our ability to light fires.
