SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature normally decreases as elevation or height increases, making locations at higher elevations colder. For every 100-meter increase in elevation, the average temperature decreases by 0.7°C. Even in areas located near the equator, the temperature at higher elevations is cooler.

Detailed explanation-2: -Of course, mountains themselves can also directly impact a location’s climate. The higher the elevation of a place, the cooler its temperature tends to be.

Detailed explanation-3: -You will lose an average 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1000 feet of elevation you gain. You can also use about 1.2 degrees Celsius per ever 1000 feet, or about 1 degree Celsius per 100 meters (source, NFW who showed me my typo on the metric conversion in the comments).
