What effect does elevation have on the characteristics of a biome?
The higher the elevation, the colder it gets! you're welcome!
What is the six classifications determined by precipitation and temperature?
The six classifications determined by precipitation & temperature are ; Mild , Dry , Continental, Polar , Tropical , & High Elevation !! (I got this out of my science book)
What is the rule of the thumb and where does it come from?
The Texas Rule of Thumb is: The further you travel Northwest, the higher the elevation and lower the precipitation, the further you travel Southeast, the lower the elevation, and higher the precipitation.
How temperature changes with increased elevation?
At higher altitude the temperature is lower.
Does a hurricane's winds decrease as it reaches higher ground?
A hurricane's winds will start to decrease as soon as it hits land. If it hits high terrain it will weaken faster as the increase in elevation forces more of the moisture to fall as precipitation. This creates in increased risk of flooding.
What do elevation precipitation wind and water effect?
The flatter the land, the more precipitation there is.
Why is it possible to pass through several biomes as you drive up a mountain?
Because, elevation affects both temperature and precipitation, the type of biome found at a higher elevation can be different from one at a lower elevation. For Example: Temperate forest, Boreal forest, Tundra, and Permanent ice. (forest by mountain, higher up the mountain, go higher and you reach at tundra, top of mountain is cold and precipitation is very different, so it's permanent ice) Hope this answers your question :)
What is the relationship between precipitation and elevation?

What causes your biome to develop or form?
temperature, elevation, latitude, precipitation
How does elevation affect the amount of precipitation that falls over and what?
As theelevationrises, theprecipitationlowers
How do index contours let you know if the land you are viewing are increasing or decreasing?
Each index contour has an elevation associated with it. When you look at 2 contours, one will have a higher corresponding elevation. As you go from the lower elevation to the higher elevation, you know that the land is increasing in the direction toward the higher elevation. From the higher to the lower elevation, the land is decreasing (sloping downward, decreasing in elevation).
