How to use altitude in a sentence?

1. Ben Pickering:

   Going forward it's about access to the epicenter, and helicopters are the key, but it's not clear whether they can be sourced and whether the high altitude is a problem.

There were a lot of health risks at that time before we came up with things like pressurized cabins, before we came up with ways to mitigate the problems with traveling at altitude.

3. Phil Connors:

   I think people place too much emphasis on their careers, i wish we could all live in the mountains, at high altitude. That’s where I see myself in five years. How about you?

4. Van Dam:

   This is a rare occurrence that took place because cool, damp air became trapped in the lower levels of the canyon, it was literally stuck underneath a warm layer of air just above. In the meteorological world, this is referred to as an inversion when the temperature actually warms with height (as opposed to it cooling with a rise in altitude).
