|
Mountains at higher elevations receive direct sunlight.
|
|
|
Thinner air occurs at lower elevations, lowering temperatures.

Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following statements explains how elevation influences climate? The Earth’s atmosphere thins as altitude increases, producing a colder climate. How are the causes of ocean currents similar to those of wind patterns?
Detailed explanation-2: -As altitude increases, temperature decreases. Various factors are responsible for this, including air pressure and water-vapour content. With every 100 metres, the temperature drops by an average of 0.65°C.
Detailed explanation-3: -The main driver of climate change is the greenhouse effect. Some gases in the Earth’s atmosphere act a bit like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping the sun’s heat and stopping it from leaking back into space and causing global warming.
