Here the answers are diverse.First the plains have charcteristics like the albedo of the surface,texture of the surface/soil.Temperature is distributed on the surface of a plain in horizontal axis with little obstraction whereas for the mountains there is forced lifting of warm air temperature by the cold air temperature through a process called orographic process.Even Pressures play a major role in the distribution of temperature with height. The higher the pressures the lower the temperature and the lower the pressure the higher the temperatures.

Why are the mountains cooler than plains?
because montains are more high than plains
Why would temperatures in the mountains be cooler than temperatures found in the coastal lowlands?
because of the montians
Types of landforms?
The shaped surface of the Earth is particularly featured by the landform. And Earth has three main landforms, (1) the valleys or the lower regions of the Earth and formed from the effect of eroding movement of water over rock and soil, (2) the mountains or a large vertical landforms, the Earth's natural elevation, and (3) the plains or the mostly flat and broad areas landform, more than 50% of the Earth's interior.
Why is the work of erosion and transportation of a river more in the mountains than in the plains?
becuz the muddi blocks the plains way
Are plains lower than the land around them?
yes that is why they are called plains like the high flying object
Lower than mountains but higher than plains are called as?
plateau?
How does climate affect relief?
Mountains affect climate as mountains receive more rainfall than lower lying areas because the temperatures on top of the mountains are lower that the temperatures at sea level. This is why snow on the peak of mountains can be seen all year round. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner and is less able to absorb and retain heat.
Why are the mountains cooler than plains?
because montains are more high than plains
Is plains higher or lower than their surroundings?
lower
Why is it more difficult to breath on mountains than on plains?
At higher altitudes, the air pressure is lower. Therefore each breath you take contains less oxygen.
Why is air cooler in the mountains than the plains?
Cause its higher

Why Sri Lanka is hotter than Nepal?
Sri Lanka is located nearer to the equator than Nepal and is located in a lower altitude.
Why transport is easier in plains than in mountains?
Think of walking across a flat surface (plains), and then walking up a series of hills (mountains). It's easier to travel across plains because they are flat and broad.
Which solid is the most soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures?
sodium chloride
