How does the climate at the base of a mountain differ from the climate at the top?

Answer 1

The ground is heated up by the sun.The surrounding air near to the ground is heated up first. Near to the ground, the air is denser and can store more heat. As we go up a mountain, the air becomes less dense and less heat can be absorbed.

Also, for every 400m we go up a mountain, it drops 1 degree Celsius

Answer 2

the vegetation at low altitude is more because there is more sunlight on groung and warm atmosphere.plants grow in more sunlight and these plants are eaten by man and animal so where more sunlight then there will be high vegetation. It is warmer on average at a low altitude so more chemical reactions can take place in the plants and so they can grow faster. It is not because of sun light!! because if any thing there is more sun light at higher altitudes because it is above the clouds.

Answer 3

at the bottom of the mountain the climate is warm allowing much vegetation to be grown. as you climb farther up the climate and temperature drops allowing not much vegetation at all to grow.
