En dessous de 3000 m, il est très rare qu'une personne souffre de ce mal; en effet il n'apparaît le plus souvent qu'à partir de 3500 m. Le «mal aigu des montagnes» est dû à un défaut d'oxygénation du cerveau consécutif à une mauvaise acclimatation.

For us that sit low in the altitude saddle, areas of high altitude can tremendously effect our bodies. There is nothing worse than a pounding headache, shortness of breath, nausea, fatigue, and heart palpitations. Unfortunately, these are all symptoms of altitude sickness.

Altitude illness is the result of traveling to a higher altitude faster than the body can adapt to that new altitude. Fluid leakage from blood vessels appears to be the main cause of symptoms. Altitude illness is divided into three syndromes: acute mountain sickness (AMS), high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE), and high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). 2, record 18, English, - high%2Daltitude%20sickness

Forces capillaires. À l'interface entre deux phases, il existe une tension superficielle liée à la nature des deux substances en contact, qui traduit l'écart entre les forces d'attraction des molécules avec celles qui sont à l'intérieur de leur phase et celles qui sont à l'extérieur. L'eau est «mouillante» avec la plupart des solides c'est-à-dire que l'angle de raccordement de l'interface air-eau avec les solides est aigu. De part et d'autres de l'interface air-eau la pression est différente. L'écart, la pression capillaire, est d'autant plus élevé que le rayon de courbure est plus court. L'air est à la pression atmosphérique (phase continue). L'eau peut ainsi se retrouver à une pression négative (c'est la succion capillaire) : ceci explique l'existence d'un profil d'humidité au-dessus de la ligne de saturation d'un aquifère. 3, record 19, French, - tension%20capillaire
