Answer:The percentage of oxygen in the air is essentially the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude

Explanation:The percentage of oxygen in the air at two miles (3.2 km.) is essentially the same as at sea level (21%). However, the air pressure is 30% lower at the higher altitude due to the fact that the atmosphere is less dense--that is, the air molecules are farther apart.
