Why are mountaintops colder than lowlands?
Mountaintops are colder than the lowlands because the Sun heats the Earth from the ground up. The Sun's radiation travels through the atmosphere to the ground, where Earth absorbs the heat then emits it back out. So, temperatures near the Earth's surface is generally the warmest.
Why does snow stay on mountaintops?
In general because its colder up there.
Why is it colder on mountaintops than down below?
Because, taller mountains are high enough to reach the next layer of the atmosphere, which tends to be colder because the sun's radiation is mostly deflected at the top. The bottom layer is alot warmer because of the greenhouse effect.
Why is it colder on mountaintops than in the city?
It's cold on top of mountains because expanding air becomes cooler by adiabatic expansion. If you let the air out of your tires, the valve stem becomes cold. It's the same phenomenon. Mountain tops also have less overlying water vapor, so they are cooled by radiation to space more strongly than the low lands.
When was Pink Mountaintops created?
Pink Mountaintops was created in 2003.
When was Mountaintops created?

Which is colder -3 or -5?
-5 is colder than -3. The lower the temperature, the colder it is.
Are mountaintops typically colder than lowlands?
when the sun shines the denser air over the valley of a mountain gets warmed up.These warmed air rises up and reaches the mountain tops.As it reaches the mountain tops it expands adiabatically because the pressure at mountain tos is low
Why does it snow more in mountaintops then in lower altitudes?
It is cold at very high elevations. Most rain originates as snow at high elevation, which then melts before reaching the ground.
Which is colder -18c or -9.6c?
18 is colder than 9.6
How do mountaintops weather faster than rocks at sea level?
Mountaintops generally experience more extreme weather conditions such as freezing temperatures, strong winds, and frequent precipitation which leads to faster weathering compared to rocks at sea level. Additionally, the thinner soil cover on mountaintops exposes rocks directly to the elements, accelerating the weathering process.
Is -14 colder than -4?
Yes, -14 is colder than -4. The lower the temperature, the colder it is. In this case, -14 degrees is 10 degrees colder than -4 degrees.
