Answer:

As the balloon ascends, the pressure of its environment decreases, and the balloon begins to expand

Step-by-step explanation:

This expansion continues until the material of the balloon is stretched to its breaking point, causing the balloon to burst. This typically occurs at stratospheric altitudes between 30 and 35 km.
