As you climb higher up a mountain does the air get hotter or colder?
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
Why it is colder at the peak of a mountain?
The higher you go in the atmosphere, the cooler it gets. This is the result of something called adiabatic cooling. At higher altitudes, the air is less compressed than at low altitudes, because there is less air weighing down on it. When you decompress a gas, it cools.
Why is it that when you go up a mountain you get colder because your near to the sun?
because air pressure decreases as altitude increases. As air rises, the pressure decreases. It is the lower pressure at higher altitude that causes temperature to be colder on the top of a mountain compared to sea level.
What happens to the climate higher above sea level?
The Higher you go, the colder it gets and less oxygen.
Does a freezer temperature get warmer if the dial is on a higher number or colder?
The higher the number, the colder it becomes .
How does elevation affect the taiga biome?
It affects with temperature. The higher you go the colder it gets. Example: Mt. Hood is high in elevation and the higher that you climb the mountain the colder it gets!
Is it hot or cold on the top of a mountain?
it depends on how high up the mountain you are.the higher you get the colder it gets.
Why is it colder on the top of a mountain than the bottom?
Temperatures decrease with altitude due to a decrease in air pressure as you go higher. This causes the air to expand and cool down, hence making it colder at the top of a mountain compared to the base.
As you climb higher up a mountain does the air get hotter or colder?
As you climb a mountain the air gets colder.
Why does it get colder as one climbs higher and higher in a mountain?
because you would get more of a breeze
does a mountain get hotter or colder as you go up?
Most often, the air at higher elevations is cooler than the air at lower elevations. The act of your climbing the mountain has no effect on it.
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.
Why is the climate colder as you go up a mountain?
Because of the altitude.
Why it is colder at the peak of a mountain?
The higher you go in the atmosphere, the cooler it gets. This is the result of something called adiabatic cooling. At higher altitudes, the air is less compressed than at low altitudes, because there is less air weighing down on it. When you decompress a gas, it cools.
What happens to climate as you get higher up a mountain?
As you go higher up a mountain, the temperature generally decreases, resulting in colder conditions. This is known as the lapse rate, where the air becomes thinner and retains less heat. The climate tends to become cooler and windier with increasing altitude on a mountain.
Why does the temperature change when you go up an mountain?
The temperature changes as you go up a mountain due to the reduction in atmospheric pressure with increasing altitude. This drop in pressure causes the air to expand and cool, resulting in colder temperatures at higher elevations.
Why does the top part of the mountain still has snow on it but lower parts don't?
the higher you get the colder it gets
