Question

4. Find the incorrect statement from the following A) Places near the sea records less variations in temperature throughout the year B) Temperature increases with elevation (height) C) Temperature decreases as we move towards north or south from equator D) Temperatures do not extend uniformly all over the world
​

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Temperature increases with elevation (height)

Explanation:

The statement temperature increases with elevation is incorrect, as in reality temperature decreases with elevation. The farther up we go, the lesser the temperature is. This is because, with increasing altitude, the atmosphere becomes thinner. We can find an example of this in mountain ranges like the Himalayas, where the temperature often reaches sub-zero.

All other statements are correct, thus making option B the answer.
