How does air move from cooler place to a warmer place or from a warmer place to a cooler place?
Because that how air rules.

80 degrees is the average temperature when a tornado takes place.
What is the measure of how high a place is above sea level called?
Elevation.
What is the normal temperature of the air?
There is no normal temperature, it varies from place to place depending on the climate.
What geologic province of North America is a place where the crust has been uplifted and extended forming alternating areas of high elevation and low elevation?
Basin and Ridge
How does elevation change climate?
All other things being equal, a place with a higher elevation will be cooler than a place with a lower elevation. This is because the atmosphere is less dense at higher elevations. When air is less dense, it does not hold heat as well. So the higher up in elevation you go, the thinner the air is, which means it holds less heat, and the temperature is cooler. On average, the temperature drops by about 3 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet above sea level. So a point that was 6,000 feet above sea level would be 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than a point at sea level, all other things being equal.

How does addding water to the ice cooler affect the coke temperature?
Assuming a cooler with some quantity of ice less than the total volume of the cooler. Add water, wait a few minutes for heat exchange to stabilize temperature of ice water solution. The pop cans you place in cooler will warm to or cool to and, as long as both ice and water remain in solution, will remain at 32 deg f. So adding water to a cooler of ice and soda will stabilize your soda temperature at 32 deg f. and it probably won't freeze.

Why is there differences in temperature?
bcoz of the angle of the rays of the sun........... ..............wherever it falls that area receives the most heat..... the area that doesn't receive it as much is cooler this not a very good answer....u can look up the question why is there difference in temperature from place to place on the earth surface
