What is the description of highland climate zone?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Is it okay if I give some? Here they are :3 :

1.Highlands are ELEVATED REGIONS; or you can say PLATEAUS.

2.They are GENERALLY COOLER HAN LOWLANDS.

3.PRECIPITATION IS MUCH GREATER ON THW WINDWARD (RAINY) SIDE, THAN ON THE LEEWARD (DRY) SIDE.

Answer 3

a highland climatic zone is a zone that is cool or cold. normally found in central Europe. it is also known as the mountainous zone as it is quite high up.

Answer 4

describe the climate of appalchin highlands

Answer 5

central Europe.
