Yes , in the troposphere , temperature decreases about 6.5 Celsius degrees for every 1- kilometer increases in altitude
If you mean when did they form then the answer is all the time!!If you mean how did they form, then (I did write this myself):Made of compressed snow and ice, these pinnacles only form above 4000m, through the process of sublimation. Sublimation is when a substance goes from the solid phase to the gas phase without passing through the liquid phase. This happens due to the dry air in high altitudes. Some areas sublimate faster than others are, resulting in random depressions in the surface of the snow. Sunlight is focused on these curved areas, causing them to sublimate even faster, forming the tall spikes (penitents).
Coal mines used to be areas of large swamp land around 260 million years ago 1. Plants drop plant matter into the swamp. 2. The plant matter turns into peat. 3. Compacted heat drives off chemicals. 4. The compacted heat matures the peat into coal
In science, a gas is a state of matter. Using particle theory, we can describe a gas. Particles in a gas are free to move and diffuse to areas of lower concentration (of their particles). They have the highest average energy per particle and have no regular arrangement.
have separated positive and negative areas.
it moves from high to low concentration
This is true. There are mountains on the equator (in Ecuador, the Andes Mountains) with snow on their peaks.
If they are in mountainous areas like the alps, yes. the higher it is the cooler the air
Europe is mainly temperate, however it is considerably warmer than areas at the same latitude, due to the Gulf stream.
Latitude and altitude affect the plants that grow in an area by affecting the temperatures there. The closer the latitude is to the poles, the colder the weather. The higher the altitude, the colder the weather. This means that plants that will grow in warm areas will not do well at higher latitudes or altitudes.
Well you have to look at the latitude/position of Europe, look how far north it is! Europe is actually very warm for its location, compared to areas at the same latitude. The warm ocean currents bring warmer weather.
i believe that the tow areas in the us that have tropical climates are Arizona and CaliforniaHawaii, and the Gulf Coast/Florida areas.
continental climates
Tropical areas
The two areas that share the same latitude are land and sea.
The latitude of an area plays a significant role in determining its climate. Areas closer to the equator, which have lower latitudes, tend to have warmer climates as they receive more direct sunlight throughout the year. On the other hand, areas farther from the equator, with higher latitudes, experience cooler climates due to the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth's surface.
Alpine or highland climates are cool to cold, usually dry climates that occur at very high elevations regardless of latitude, ranging from the near polar mountains of Alaska to the Andes and Kilimanjaro, which are equatorial.Deserts are areas that receive very little rainfall, and also occur from the poles to the Equator. Some deserts, such as Antarctica, are cold and polar, while others, like the Sahara, are hot and equatorial, while deserts such as the Gobi, Atacama, and Mojave occur at mid latitudes.
they do because of the location of these areas have different climates than others
