Question

In general what is true about places at higher altitudes ?

Answer 1

Higher altitudes have cooler temperatures than places at lower altitudes

Answer 2

In the high areas the air is less dense, for this reason the heat cannot be absorbed and maintained as in areas of denser air. These areas are cooler.

In these areas the rains are abundant. The temperature decreases approximately 1 ° C every 100 meters. These areas receive greater heat stroke and a specific wind regime.

In general the diversity of species is low in high altitude areas due to the extreme conditions of temperatures and atmospheric pressure
