Question

How does altitude affect climate patterns in a region? Areas at high elevations have cooler temperatures. Air continues to warm as it rises to a higher elevation. Tropical regions do not have many differences in altitude. High-altitude areas have less variation in seasonal temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A. Areas at high elevations have cooler temperatures.

Step-by-step explanation:

Areas with high altitude or elevations have cooler temperatures because air molecules are less in the air at high elevation that decreases the gas pressure leading to low temperature.

Earth's surface absorbs heat and diffuses it into the atmosphere that warms up the earth's surface. Layers of the atmosphere in higher-altitude areas diffuses less heat and maintain the low temperature.

Hence, the correct option is "A. Areas at high elevations have cooler temperatures."
