How does the temperature change with elevation in the Andes?
In the Andes, temperature generally decreases with increasing elevation due to the lapse rate, which causes cooler temperatures at higher altitudes. On average, for every 1,000 feet increase in elevation, the temperature can drop by around 3.5°F to 5.4°F. This temperature variation with elevation creates diverse ecosystems and climate zones in the Andes mountain range.
