Question

How does the altitude influence climate

Answer 1

Answer:

at higher altitudes there is low pressure so it is cold there

Answer 2

Altitude refers to the height above sea level.Temperature decreases with increasing height above sea level. This makes the higher areas to have lower temperatures than the lower areas. A rise in altitude causes a fall in temperature and a cooling effect which causes condensation. This leads to precipitation on the windward side or lowering of altitude leads to warming effect on the leeward side. There are variations in pressure gradient caused by altitude whereby the higher you go the thinner the pressure. Altitude causes Anabatic and Kabatic winds or subsequent temperature inversion.
