What else can I help you with?
What happens to the temperature if you climb up a mountain?
The temperature generally decreases as you climb higher up a mountain due to lower air pressure and thinner atmosphere. This change in temperature with altitude is known as the lapse rate, and it results in colder temperatures at higher elevations.
Why does the temperature change when you go up an mountain?
The temperature changes as you go up a mountain due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This drop in pressure causes the air to expand and cool, resulting in colder temperatures at higher elevations.
Does air pressure and temperature change with altitude?
Yes, air pressure decreases with altitude because the atmosphere becomes less dense. In contrast, temperature changes can vary with altitude; typically, temperature decreases with altitude, but there are atmospheric layers where temperature may increase, known as inversions.
Why are mountain peaks cold?
not neccesarily because of the cold climates but since they have a high altitude they get the snow that doesnt melt before reaching the point where humans live, where it is warmer. mountains are cold themselves
As you climb higher up a mountain does the air get hotter or colder?
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
Why are hills cold?
due to altitude. the higher you get, temperature will decrease as well as pressure.
Why the hills are cold?
due to altitude. the higher you get, temperature will decrease as well as pressure.
What is a characteristics of altitude?
Well altitude is the distance above sea level. The higher the altitude, the less air pressure and temperature there's going to be.
What can be done to raise the boiling point of water?
All you have to do to reduce the boiling point of water is go to a higher altitude and boil it.
Is the temperature cooler in low altitude or higher altitude?
Typically, the temperature is cooler at higher altitudes because the air is less dense and there is less pressure. This results in a decrease in temperature with increasing altitude due to adiabatic cooling as the air rises and expands.
Why is it that when you go up a mountain you get colder because your near to the sun?
because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitude that causes temperature to be colder on the top of a mountain compared to sea level.
Where would the air pressure be the greatest around a mountain?
Air pressure decrease with altitude thus the air pressure is the greatest at the mountain base.
