I don't know about climate but the adiabatic lapse rate (the amount it gets cooler as you go up) is 3.1 degrees F for every 1,000 feet rise in elevation.

Do cars have problems when moved from a warm climate to a colder one?
Not unless it is an extremely cold climate or it is an extremely high elevation. Modern computer controlled engine adjust for elevation and climate pretty well. Of course if the climate is extremely cold you would want to use a block heater.
What are 2 ways that elevation can have an effect on weather and climate?
well one way is the higher the elivaon the more likely to get shocked by lighting
What is the difference between Climate and Weather?
The difference is that climate is weather that's happening over a long period of time. Weather happens like it's happening right now or it happens one day or another, weather isn't like one year or more.
What four conditions describe the climate of a region?
Ocean currents, mountains, elevation, latitude.
What happens to ecosystems when there is a loss of biodiversity?
The climate could overgrow in one of the certain plants that an extinct species fed on.
Do parts of the rockies have a highland climate?
They do have a highland climate. The Rockies have all four climates in one territory. This is due to its height and elevation.

Why might 2 area near equator have very different climate?
If one area has a higher elevation, then it will be colder there.
What is the common elevation for tundra?
Tundra is one of the seven types of Earth environments, or biomes, each of which is characterized by specialized vegetation, climate and animal life. Elevation can vary not only from one tundra to another, but within a single tundra.

Weight change with Altitude or elevation?
Weight changes with altitude, or elevation with respect to the earth. This only happens because the further one is from the planet, the weaker the value of g.
What kind of climate does Lhasa China have?
Lhasa, China has a wonderful climate, their winters are frosty and their summers are mild. The valley and high elevation help keep extreme heat and cold at bay and one can generally enjoy a cool, slightly dry climate.
Is climate a geographic feature?
Climate is dramatically effected by landforms. Elevation and latitude effect temperature. Mountains trap rainfall on one side, creating deserts and rainforests. As such, the study of geography and climate go hand in hand.
Who are responsible for climate change and how?
No one is responsible. It is just nature. Climate change has been happening for millions of years. The earth goes through cycles.
Which region of the US increases in elevation as it goes west?
The most obvious one is the East Coast, where mountains occur inland from the Atlantic.
What happens to the magnitude of the fluid friction acting on a submarine as the submarine's speed increases?
As a submarine moves more quickly through the water, the fluid friction will increase. The two (the magnitude of the speed and the magnitude of fluid friction) are directly proportional. That means what happens to one happens to the other. If one goes up, the other goes up. And if one goes down, the other goes down.
What are the differences between the UK and Kenya?
Lots. War, history, ethnic groups, elevation, temperature climate, animals, availability of tea, animals, location on the globe, amount of ports, one's an island, one's in Africa, they start with different letters, one has one word in its name while the other has two, one has had a stable government for over 200 years, the other goes in and out of turmoil, etc.
