Question

How does temperature and precipitation change as you increase in elevation? Temperature gets warmer and precipitation increases. Temperature gets cooler and precipitation increases. Temperature gets warmer and precipitation decreases. Temperature gets cooler and precipitation decreases.

Answer 1

Answer:

temperature and precipitation decreases on increasing the elevation

Temperature gets warmer and precipitation increases

Answer 2

Answer:

The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature.

altitude has a great effect on precipitation.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature. This is because the temperature gets colder as you enter the atmosphere, and the atmospheric pressure freezes the amount of precipitation and causes snow.
• The lower the altitude, the warmer and the hotter the temperature, because the air pressure is not so pressurized.
• Especially in mountainous environments, altitude has a great effect on precipitation. Precipitation increases on the windward side of the mountain. As the altitude rises, the air parcel rises upwind of the mountain, causing the air parcel to cool, condense, and rain.
• Near the  surface of the earth, the air gets colder as you go up. As you climb the mountain, you can assume that the  temperature will drop 6.5 degrees Celsius every 1000 meters above sea level. This is known as the standard (average) cancellation rate.
