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. helpppppppppppp

Answer 1

There are some basic physical processes that inform scientists’ expectations of how precipitation will respond in a warming world. With higher temperatures comes greater evaporation and surface drying, potentially contributing to the intensity and duration of drought.

However, as the air warms its water-holding capacity increases, particularly over the oceans. According to the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, the air can generally hold around 7% more moisture for every 1C of temperature rise. As such, a world that is around 4C warmer than the pre-industrial era would have around 28% more water vapour in the atmosphere.

Answer 2

Answer: Temperature gets cooler and precipitation increases.
