When latitude increases does temperature decrease?
The close the latitude is to 0, the hotter it is.
How does elevation effect temperature?
Air temperature drops an average of 6.5 degrees Celsius per every 1000 feet.
How do you use longitude and latitude to determine elevation?
There's no way to determine elevation from latitude and longitude alone.
How does elevation affects climate of a region?
ocean currents, mountains, elevation, and latitude
How do global positioning systems use elevation point on earth system to find latitude and longitude?
GPS receivers do not 'use' elevation for anything. They use the signals from several satellites simultaneously to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation of the receiver's location. It takes a minimum of three satellites to calculate the latitude and longitude, a minimum of four satellites to calculate the latitude, longitude, and elevation, if more satellites can be found the latitude, longitude, and elevation calculations can be refined more accurately.
What factor has the same effect on temperature as elevation?
latitude
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.
When latitude increases does temperature decrease?
The close the latitude is to 0, the hotter it is.
What causes your biome to develop or form?
temperature, elevation, latitude, precipitation
What determines where plants and animals are found in the world?
Temperature (latitude and elevation) Water (lack or proximity) Light (latitude)
How temperature changes with increased elevation?
At higher altitude the temperature is lower.
How does elevation above sea level effect temperature?
The higher the elevation, the colder it gets.
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 the the factors of 5?
elevation,wind,latitude, precipitation and temperature
What is the effect of elevation on temperature?
Generally, the higher you get in elevation, the lower the temperature. This is why mountains can be covered in snow during the hottest months of the year.
What are the four abiotic factors that influence a land ecosystems climate?
temperature latitude elevation and precipitation
Are the Rockies higher than the Alps?
The Rockies have a lower elevation but higher latitude than the alps. So the alps are higher than the Rockies.
