Is a snow cap the same elevation all around the world?
No. in general, snow forms only at very high elevations on mountains near the equator while it forms at lower elevations as a person goes north or south.
Describe the general climate close to the equator?
Hot, except at elevated elevations above sea level.
What is a cell city analogy for a cytoskeleion?
There are several things of which you could relate a cytoskeleton to a city, for example you could compare it to structure of buildings or the general foundation of a city (the street and sidewalk), both being the general support structures of a city.
Does Britain have a temperature climate and why?
Yes to both. All places on earth have a general weather pattern, which is called climate. Different places have different climates, but every place has some climate. Similarly, everything has temperature, not matter how warm or how cold.
How does latitude affect climates on Earth?
In general, the climatic zone is determined by the latitude. The rule is that the farthest you go from the equator (the largest the latitude) the colder it gets. The rainfall near the equator is largest. In the subtropical zones the rainfall is smaller. In the intermediate zones the rainfall is large again. Please see the links for more details.

When was Highland Park General Hospital created?

Is 145 degrees Celsius or 141 Celsius at a higher elevation?
In general, temperatures decrease at higher elevations.
Describe the general climate close to the equator?
Hot, except at elevated elevations above sea level.
What is the general climate for Hawaii?
Generally tropical, but Hawaii has many climates depending on location and elevation.
Are general circulation models used as evidence of past climates?
General circulation models are not typically used as direct evidence of past climates due to their forward-looking nature in simulating future climate scenarios. Instead, proxies like ice cores, tree rings, and sediment layers are used to reconstruct past climates. General circulation models are more commonly used to study and project future climate changes based on various input parameters and scenarios.
What type of zone do climate follow there general pattern?
lattitude lines help determine the pattern in which climates follow

Some scholars compare Napoleon's General Vandamme to what World War 2 US General?
General George Patton is sometimes compared to Napoleon's General Vandamme.
What is the description of highland climate zone?
Highland climates are cool to cold, found in mountains and high plateaus. Climates change rapidly on mountains, becoming colder the higher the altitude gets. The climate of a highland area is closely related to the climate of the surrounding biome. The major highland regions of the world (the Cascades, Sierra Nevadas, and Rockies of North America, the Andes of South America, the Himalayas and adjacent ranges and the Plateau of Tibet of Asia, the eastern highlands of Africa, and the central portions of Borneo and New Guinea) cannot be classified realistically at this scale of consideration, since the effects of altitude and relief give rise to myriad mesoclimates and microclimates. This diversity over short horizontal distances is unmappable at the continental scale. Very little of a universal nature can be written about such mountain areas except to note that, as a rough approximation, they tend to resemble cooler, wetter versions of the climates of nearby lowlands in terms of their annual temperature ranges and seasonality of precipitation. Otherwise, only the most general characteristics may be noted.
In general which state in the US has higher elevations Alaska or Florida?
Alaska because it has more mountains and it snows there more when Florida has some mountains and is more hotter than Alaska.
Compare engine size and horsepower?
A general rule is the bigger the engine, the more horsepower.
