Imagine you are on a very tall mountain. You are closer to the sky than you would be if you were normally walking along the high road. When you are closer to the sky, the air is much thinner and colder than down below. A way to imagine this is, if you are in a plane, the windows and doors are always closed. One of the reasons of why the pilots do this is because the plane is flying so quickly you would simply fly out of your seat. The other reason is because you would freeze (sometimes to death).
So to summaries, higher land is cooler than lower land because the air is thinner and nearer to the sky, therefore, it is colder.

When coastal land is warmer than the nearby water what type of breeze forms?
Along Coastlines, warmer air relates to lower air pressure, thus air flows from the higher-pressure, cooler setting into the area of lower air pressure. If the land is warmer, it has lower air pressure. Air over the sea would therefore be cooler and thus have higher atmospheric pressure, and the air will naturally from from the higher pressure (in this case, from over the ocean) to the lower pressure (over the warmer land).So you get a wind from the water onto the land, or a sea breeze.

Why is it colder in higher places than lower places?
since it is above sea level the air pressure is lower which makes the climate cooler than in places with a low latitude
