How does elevation affect climate?

Biology
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]1 year ago
4 0

As elevation increases, air density decreases resulting in a decreased ability to hold heat.

<h3>Effect of elevation on climate</h3>

As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further and the temperature decreases.

P = ρgh

where;

  • P is the air pressure
  • ρ is air density
  • h is elevation
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further and the temperature decreases. The decrease in temperature affects the amount of heat that air can hold.

Thus, as elevation increases, air density decreases resulting in a decreased ability to hold heat.

Does the stomach only does chemical digestion to break down food?
bonufazy [111]
In the stomach, food undergoes chemical and mechanical digestion. Peristaltic contractions (mechanical digestion) churn the bolus, which mixes with strong digestive juices that the stomach lining cells secrete (chemical digestion). As food travels from your mouth into your digestive system, it's broken down by digestive enzymes that turn it into smaller nutrients that your body can easily absorb. This breakdown is known as chemical digestion.
