Question

How does altitude affect climate patterns in a region? Areas at high elevations have cooler temperatures. Air continues to warm as it rises to a higher elevation. Tropical regions do not have many differences in altitude. High-altitude areas have less variation in seasonal temperatures.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total heat content of a system is directly related to the amount of matter present, so it is cooler at higher elevations. The heating of the earth itself also plays a role. The planet is warmed by incoming solar energy. ... At higher altitudes it is relatively harder to retain this energy as more heat is lost to space

Answer 2

Answer:

Altitude influences air temperature (since temperatures usually decrease with height by about 6.5°C per 1000 meters or 3.6°F per 1000 ft). Higher altitude sites are generally cooler and wetter (experience more precipitation) than nearby lower elevation sites.
