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.
