Temperature is affected by elevation because of the density of the air and oxygen. Therefore, as you go higher there is less air to contain the heat, so its colder higher. For example, when you use a can of compressed air, the can becomes colder as the air is released because there is more room in the can for the molecules to move around without crashing into each other.

How is climate affected by elevation?
climate is affected by elevation because the change in climate due to altitude
Are all the tempurters at all points along the earths equator the same wy or why not?
No; temperature is affected by other factors such as elevation and proximity to an ocean.
What does elevation or higher latitude have to do with temperature?
pray and findout
How do you dissolve solutes faster?
Mixing and temperature elevation
What gland is primarily affected if ACTH does not cause a normal elevation?
the adrenal glands
Is temperature affected by elevation?
Yes. It is called adiabatic heating & cooling.
What is affected by surface elevation water vapor and temperature?
air pressure
What is the affected by surface elevation water vapor and temperature?
air pressure
How is climate affected by elevation?
climate is affected by elevation because the change in climate due to altitude
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
What is relationship between temperature and elevation?
Temperature decreases as the elevation increases.
Are all the tempurters at all points along the earths equator the same wy or why not?
No; temperature is affected by other factors such as elevation and proximity to an ocean.
How does Elevation effects density?
Density isn't affected by elevation. Density = Mass/Volume Therefore elevation has no factor in density.
Temperature vs elevation?
As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.
What is the relationship between elevations and climate?
The relationship between elevation and climate has to do with temperature. The higher up the elevation is the colder the temperature is.
What is the temperature of radars?
equivalent noise temperature; elevation angle
What is the temperature of a radar?
the temperature of a radar is as hot as an elevation angle
