Question

Which of the following best explains how

elevation influences temperature?
Higher elevations experience cooler
temperatures compared to lower
elevations.
As elevation rises warmer temperatures
result compared to lower elevations.
There is very little temperature variation
between higher and lower elevations.
The highest elevations on earth experience
the warmest temperatures.

Answer 1

Higher elevations experience cooler temperatures compared to lower elevations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Elevation helps to determine the temperature of an area through relationship between availability of air and the pressure. The higher the elevation, the lower the availability of air which in turns leads to lower pressure.

This lower pressure influences the temperature of that point to be cooler. At same time, the lower the elevation and all things being equal, the hotter the temperature.
