How does latitude and elevation impact climate?
Higher elevations usually are colder and wetter than lower elevations. Same with increasing latitude north or south, the temperature gets colder.
How do highland climates compare to nearby areas at lower elevations?
Highland climates are cool to cold, and are found in mountains and high plateaus. The climate of a highland area is closely related to the climate of the surrounding region. The highlands have the same seasons and wet and dry periods as the region they are in.
What is the most common source of erosion in the high elevations of the Swiss Alps?
glaciers
What is the most common form of physical weathering at high elevations?
Abrasion of rocks by wind
What is a factor that explains why low elevations have denser air than high elevations?
The higher you go the lower the temperature gets resulting in particles in the air moving slower and spacing themselves apart farther.
What is a characteristic of places at high elevations?
Low air pressure.
Which characteristic of places at high elevations?
Places at high elevations often have cooler temperatures due to the thinner air which allows less heat to be retained. The air is also typically drier at higher elevations, leading to lower humidity levels. Additionally, the higher elevation can lead to stronger UV radiation exposure due to thinner atmosphere.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
places in low latitudes have hot climate and places in high latitude have cold climates because in high latitude its farther away from the equator which makes it colder.
How does latitude and elevation impact climate?
Higher elevations usually are colder and wetter than lower elevations. Same with increasing latitude north or south, the temperature gets colder.
Why does it snow more in mountaintops then in lower altitudes?
It is cold at very high elevations. Most rain originates as snow at high elevation, which then melts before reaching the ground.
does a mountain get hotter or colder as you go up?
Most often, the air at higher elevations is cooler than the air at lower elevations. The act of your climbing the mountain has no effect on it.
Do Tasmanian devils like to hang out in places that are high?
Tasmanian devils show no particular tendency to move to high places. They prefer anywhere that they may hide among the undergrowth, which is usually lower down, rather than in high elevations. They do not like open, exposed places.
Why do hikers put on thicker clothes when climbinga high mountain?
Thinner air at higher elevations, is colder.
Why do object at high elevations have more potential energy than objects at low elevations?
Because gravity gives objects at high elevations the potential to fall much further.
Are glaciers only found in the Arctic and the Antarctic?
No. Glaciers are found in higher elevations where the ice can survive colder than 32 degrees F. Most high mountains in the world host permanent glaciers.
Why does weathering occur faster in higher elevations?
weathering occurs faster at high elevations because
What is the weather like in the blue ridge?
