Why do mountains have lower temperatures than plains?

Here the answers are diverse.First the plains have charcteristics like the albedo of the surface,texture of the surface/soil.Temperature is distributed on the surface of a plain in horizontal axis with little obstraction whereas for the mountains there is forced lifting of warm air temperature by the cold air temperature through a process called orographic process.Even Pressures play a major role in the distribution of temperature with height. The higher the pressures the lower the temperature and the lower the pressure the higher the temperatures. Kabiito,stkabiito!yahoo.com
