Why Do My Ears Pop on a High Hill?Air pressure changes as we go up or down, and the ears pop when they gently balance the pressure.
1. Maya climbed into the little bus at sunrise, ready for the high hill.
2. The bus curled upward, and Maya pressed her nose against the bright window.
3. Then Maya's ears gave a tiny pop, and her hands covered them.
4. Maya asked why her ears popped while the bus climbed higher.
5. The air outside pressed less strongly as the bus climbed toward the windy top.
6. Maya swallowed slowly, and a tiny pop returned inside each ear.
7. On the way down, her ears popped again as the hill grew smaller.
8. Air pressure changes as we go up or down, and ears pop when they gently balance the pressure.
