Places at higher elevations have cooler temperatures because the air becomes less dense as elevation increases. This results in lower atmospheric pressure and less ability to trap heat, causing temperatures to drop. Additionally, higher elevations are often closer to the upper atmosphere, where temperatures are lower.

How does Peru's elevation affect it's temperature and surface currents?

The higher up in elevation a place is, the colder it will be. As for surface currents, I have no clue.


How does elevation change climate?

All other things being equal, a place with a higher elevation will be cooler than a place with a lower elevation. This is because the atmosphere is less dense at higher elevations. When air is less dense, it does not hold heat as well. So the higher up in elevation you go, the thinner the air is, which means it holds less heat, and the temperature is cooler. On average, the temperature drops by about 3 degrees Fahrenheit for every 1,000 feet above sea level. So a point that was 6,000 feet above sea level would be 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than a point at sea level, all other things being equal.


What happens when you place a hot object in contact with a cooler one?

Heat will transfer from the hot object to the cooler one through a process known as conduction. As the heat flows, the temperature gradient between the two objects will decrease until an equilibrium temperature is reached.

Should the testes be warmer than body temperature?

If the testes are not maintained at a temperature about 2 °C lower than body temperature the process of spermatogenesis will not take place, so that is why it is important for the testes to descend into the scrotum during maturation.

Mumbai is cooler than Jaipur because Jaipur is 431m above sea level,while mumbia is 437m above sealevel.The higher the altitude is the cooler it is.So mumbai is cooler than Jaipur


How does addding water to the ice cooler affect the coke temperature?

Assuming a cooler with some quantity of ice less than the total volume of the cooler. Add water, wait a few minutes for heat exchange to stabilize temperature of ice water solution. The pop cans you place in cooler will warm to or cool to and, as long as both ice and water remain in solution, will remain at 32 deg f. So adding water to a cooler of ice and soda will stabilize your soda temperature at 32 deg f. and it probably won't freeze.
