Is it true in the California mountains temperature drops about 3 degrees for every 1000 feet of elevation?
That's generally true anywhere, not just in California. It's called the "adiabatic lapse rate".

How does temperature change as you climb up a mountain?
As you ascend the mountain the atmospheric temperature will decrease by about 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1 km (that is why the tops of high mountains have snow on them).
What happens to temperature as elevation increase?
As elevation increases temperature decreases reaching the coldest altitude (around -90 degrees C). Once you ascend into the Thermosphere (56 miles high) The temperatures will be extremely high, ranging from 200 degrees C up to 500 Degrees C as you climb in elevation.
Where exactly are the Adirondack Mountains located?
The Adirondack Mountains are located in the Northeast of Upstate New York. Their exact coordinates are 44 degrees North and 73 degrees West. The elevation is 5,344 feet.
What is the temperature of any mountains?
5 degrees = Mount Snowdon
What is the lowest temperature on the Andes mountains?

What is the average temperature of California valley region?

Where is the temperature 75 degrees F in February?
Southern California!
What was California's lowest December temperature?
-5 degrees Fahrenheit
What is the average low temperature of California?
70 degrees Fahrenheit
How does elevation effect temperature?
As elevation increases, the temperature typically decreases. This is because air pressure decreases with altitude, causing the air to expand and cool. The rate of temperature decrease with elevation is called the lapse rate.
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 is the air temperature at 15000 feet elevation?
At 15,000 feet elevation, the air temperature can vary widely depending on multiple factors such as the time of day, season, and location. However, on average, the temperature at this elevation tends to be around 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit colder than at sea level.
