What else can I help you with?
Would it be hotter or colder if the atmosphere had more carbon dioxide?
The increase in carbon dioxide would trap more heat in the atmosphere, leading to higher temperatures overall. This is known as the greenhouse effect, where increased levels of greenhouse gases like CO2 contribute to global warming.
Do the planets get colder the farther they are from the sun?
Yes, this is because the farther one is from the Sun the less radiation you absorb and the colder you get. This all assuming there are no other effects like global warming (such as on Venus and Earth) and internal heat production (like on Jupiter and Saturn)
What mountain is 14600 ft high in Switzerland?
The mountain that is 14,600 ft high in Switzerland is the Matterhorn. It is one of the most iconic peaks in the Swiss Alps and is known for its pyramid shape.
In what situations is a pocket compass most useful?
The pocket compass is most useful for those adventurous people who do mountain or forest exploration, mountain climbing, hiking or when one is lost in the dessert.
Olympus mons is a large volcanic mountain on wich planet?
Olympus Mons is a large volcanic mountain on Mars. It is the tallest volcano in the solar system and one of the largest mountains in the entire solar system.
What is weather like up a mountain?
The higher one goes into the mountains, the more one notices how different the weather is compared to the weather at the bottom of the mountain. The higher up one goes, the colder and less humid it becomes.
What is vertical climate?
A vertical climate a climate affected by altitude (usually found on a mountain). One example is that on a mountain the higher up you go the colder the climate (or temperature) is.
What is an alpinist?
An alpinist is a mountain climber, especially one who climbs high mountains, including the European Alps, or a downward skier who practises the sport on high mountains.
Why is the climate in cordillera administration region is cold?
Because it is a mountain range. As one goes up, it gets colder.
What is an upward mountain?
An upward mountain is a term used to describe a mountainous ascent, where the terrain inclines in an upward direction as one climbs higher. It refers to the physical act of climbing a mountain upwards.
Where is Eiger located?
If you are referring to the Eiger mountain, this can be found in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland.
What makes ecosystems cold?
At higher latitudes, there is less sunlight focused on it. This makes it colder. Winds can make an environment feel colder too, this is one of the reasons Antarctica is so inhospitable.
Why might 2 area near equator have very different climate?
If one area has a higher elevation, then it will be colder there.
What landform is usally in ranges and is higher than surrounding land?
They are mountain ranges, or mountain chains, the Himalayan Mountain Range being one example.
If you go to a mountaintop closer to the sun why is it colder?
The sun is very far away, it takes light form the Sun 8 minutes to reach the Earth. At this scale the difference in height between the top of a mountain and the beach is insignificant, both places receive the same amount of light/heat form the Sun. What makes the mountain top cold is vertical variation in temperature caused by the earths atmosphere. As you go up form sea level, the air cools by about one degree Centigrade for every 300 feet you go up. Thus as you are surrounded by colder air, it is colder on the top of a mountain - (or looking at it another way, the mountain pokes up into a region of colder air). Look at the link I will place below for more information on air temperature.
How is air pressure relative to sea level?
Air pressure is higher at sea-level, so a kettle will boil quickly. Air pressure lessens the higher one climbs, so a kettle will take a long time to boil on the top of Mount Everest.
What type of mountain is formed when higher blocks fault?
A fault-block mountain is formed when higher blocks of land are displaced along a fault line, causing one side of the fault to rise relative to the other. This creates a steep-sided mountain range with a distinctive block-like structure.
