Given:

Bleeding of the nose occurs at higher altitude

To find:

The reason

Step-by-step explanation:

We, know that the air pressure decreases with the increase in altitude.

At the higher altitudes, the blood pressure inside our body is greater than the outside atmospheric pressure which forces the blood to ooze out from openings like the nose. Hence the nose bleeding.
