Answer:

The correct answer is C. High elevations, even those near the equator, tend to have cooler climates.

Explanation:

The mountain climate is a climate specific to the various mountain regions, independently of the climatic zone where they are located. It is characterized by cold winters and cool, wet summers.

In each climatic zone, the thermal and pluviometric rhythms of the mountain environment are close to those of the neighboring plains, but the temperatures are lower, and the precipitations increase at least until an altitude qualified as optimal. The exposure and the vigor of the relief also bring important nuances.  

Atmospheric pressure and air density decrease with altitude according to a logarithmic law, because air tends to settle near the surface of the globe. The temperature decreases with altitude mainly because of the drop in atmospheric pressure. The higher the altitude, the lower the atmospheric pressure. The temperature of a gas being linked to its pressure, a drop in pressure induces a significant cooling of the air.  

The average thermal variation is approximately 0.6° C every 100 m. The temperature varies from a value of approximately 1° C for 100 m, when the relative humidity of the air is less than 100% (dry air), to a value of approximately 0.5° C for 100 m , when the air is saturated.

"!PLEASE HELP!"<br> How do the world's economies interact and affect one another?
lesya692 [45]
The world's economies interact with each other by trading. For example, if oil is easier to access in Saudi Arabia than America, it will be less expensive, so we trade. The economies affect one another by giving each other easier access to different resources and products.

Mariko has an 80:1 scale-drawing of the floor plan of her house. On the floor plan, the dimensions of her rectangular living roo
Crazy boy [7]

In order to get to the result we will need to use the scale and the numbers that are provided of the dimensions of the room.

The dimensions of the room on the floor plan are 17.8 inches by 21.2 inches. We first need to multiply these numbers with the scale:

17.8 x 80 = 1,424

21.2 x 80 = 1,696

Now that we got the real measures we need to multiply these two values in order to get to a result as in how many square inches is the room:

1,424 x 1696 = 2,425,104

Now we need to convert the square inches into square feet to get to the final result:

1 ft² = 144 in²

2,425,104 / 144 = 16,771.56

So we have a result of 16,771.56 square feet.
