I'm pretty sure it's polyploidy
The troposphere is shallowest or narrowest at the poles, and deepest or thickest at the equator. At the geographic North and South Poles, the troposphere reaches only 4 miles high, while at the equator, it extends nearly 12 miles high.
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.
