Answer: it is a cation (a positively charged ion). its charge is (+). It will have one positive charge.

Explanation: Ions are charged atoms. Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged. A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called an anion. Cation is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons while an anion is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons. Normally, an atom has no charge that is, it is neutral because an atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. Protons have positive charge while electrons have negative charge. For instance when atom which have 8 electrons and 8 protons loses one electron, it will then have 7 electrons and 8 protons, thereby making the atom to have a positive (+) charge.

How does elevation affect climate?
postnew [5]

Altitude affects weather determines how dense the air is and how much heat energy the air can hold.

Option C is the correct one.

<h3>What is the relationship between authority and climate?</h3>

The relationship between climate and altitude is manifested through variations in atmospheric pressure and temperature. Although higher locations are closer to the sun, they tend to receive less heat, becoming colder, in addition to having a smaller thermal amplitude (temperature variation).

With this information, we can conclude that Higher elevations cause temperatures to drop because the higher up in the atmosphere you go the colder it gets due to air pressure in turn causing precipitation to freeze creating snow.
