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.

Which statement does NOT describe settlement patterns.?
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

C.) influence how land is used

Explanation:

    Among the physiographic and archaeological variables used for the elaboration of the settlement pattern are the altitude, the phytogeography, the area covered by the sites, the types of sites, their distance from the water, the type of water sources, the number of low floor structures per site, the diameter and depth dimensions of the low floor structures, the chronology obtained from radiocarbon and thermoluminescence analysis, the insertion into the terrain model, the solar orientation, the prevailing winds and the field of eyesight. The compilation of these archaeological distribution and implantation data and the observation of their characteristics aim to create a settlement pattern of the populations of origin of a given area.
