Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which climate condition generally results from both an increase in distance from the equator and an increase in elevation above sea level?
A
increased air pressure
B
cooler temperatures
C
warmer prevailing winds
D
increased precipitation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The correct answer is-(1) cooler temperatures. The bigger the distance from the equator the lesser the angle at which the sunlight falls on the surface of the Earth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature range goes higher with distance from the equator. This is because the suns rays are dispersed over a larger area of land as you move away from the equator.

Detailed explanation-3: -The climate of a region depends on many factors including the amount of sunlight it receives, its height above sea level, the shape of the land, and how close it is to oceans. Since the equator receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on its distance from the equator.

Detailed explanation-4: -Equatorial regions is hotter and the air above expands, becomes less dense and rises. This produces a low pressure belt at this latitude. 1. Generally, the equatorial region has a warm, rainy climate.

Detailed explanation-5: -There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.
