What is the relation of elevation to temperature?

In general, temperature decreases with increasing elevation at a rate of about 3.5°F per 1,000 feet of elevation gain due to the decrease in air pressure with altitude. This is known as the lapse rate. However, local factors like topography, vegetation cover, and proximity to large bodies of water can also influence temperature at different elevations.


What is the highest point elevation for bahama's?

Why hill station climate are always cool?

A "hillstation" is on a hill thus at a higher elevation in comparison to the surrouding area. Higher elevation areas are often cooler then lower elevation areas. Plus hillstations are built on cooler higher elevation areas so local residents or tourist can "escape" their hotter hometowns and vacation on these areas

What is the difference between a relief map and a political map?

A relief map shows the physical features of an area, such as mountains, rivers, and valleys, using contour lines to depict elevation. On the other hand, a political map displays boundaries, cities, and countries, focusing on man-made features like borders and capitals.

What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?

As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.


What is relationship between temperature and elevation?

Temperature vs elevation?

As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.


What is the relationship between elevations and climate?

The relationship between elevation and climate has to do with temperature. The higher up the elevation is the colder the temperature is.

How does the temperature change per 1000 feet elevation?

The temperature typically decreases by about 3.5F per 1000 feet increase in elevation.


As elevation rises temperature does what?

In the troposphere, the temperature drops. In the stratosphere (layer above the troposphere) it increases with elevation. In the mesosphere, temperature drops again with elevation. In the theromosphere, it goes up again (to nearly stellar surface temperatures).


What are the results for a mountain with a high elevation?

A mountain with high elevation results to a low temperature.


How does elevation above sea level effect temperature?
