Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Location 2 is cooler than Location 3 and Location 1.

Explanation:

The climate refers to the long-term average of weather which implies the climate refers to the way certain elements such as temperature, wind, precipitation vary along time. Additionally, this is influenced by elements such as latitude and altitude. In the case of altitude or height over the sea level that is represented by the relief including mountains, in general terms, the climate becomes cooler with altitude as temperature and air pressure decrease. Therefore, in the case of the graphic presented that represents a mountain and different locations in this Location 2 that is at the top of the mountain is cooler than Location 1 and 3 because this is the point that is at higher altitude but from these two Location 1 is cooler. Therefore, the statement that is true about the climate of these three locations is Location 2 is cooler than Location 3 and Location 1.
