In the air, passengers lose about 30% of their ability to taste as a result of extremely dry cabin conditions and high-altitude pressure inside airplanes.

在高空飞行时，乘客会丧失大约30%的味觉，原因是机舱中极度干燥的环境和高空压力。

Other archaeologists have identified the immediate cause of this abandonment to be a series of short growing seasons that would have put pressure on corn production at that high an altitude.

其他考古学家已经发现导致这种遗弃的直接原因是一系列短暂的生长季节，而这将会给生长在高海拔地区玉米的生产带来压力。

The lower oxygen pressure found in an aircraft cabin is equivalent to that at 6,000-8,000 feet of altitude.

机舱里的氧分压会更低，其数值跟6000到8000英尺高空的氧分压值一样。

At Sunday's jump altitude, the air pressure is less than 2% of what it is at sea level, and it is impossible to breathe without an oxygen supply.

Its barometric altimeter tracks changes in pressure to pinpoint users' altitude, and they even can use it to plot barometric pressure over time, which can help keep an eye on changing weather conditions.

The original Mercury spacesuits were a modified version of pressure suits that pilots wore in high-altitude jet aircraft.
