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.

Write the differences between avalanches and GLOF?

Answer:

An avalanche can be caused by vibrations from an earthquake or in severe conditions loud sounds can disrupt the snow.

GLOF is where a body of water contained by a glacier melts or overflows the glacier.

Explanation:

Avalanches occur in mountainous regions with a thick snow cover while a landslide occurs in sloppy places with loose and muddy soil. ... An avalanche is the movement of large snow volumes. An avalanche can be caused by vibrations from an earthquake or in severe conditions loud sounds can disrupt the snow.

What term describes a stream which receives water through the inflow of groundwater through the stream bed?
Gemiola [76]

Gaining stream describes a stream which receives water through the inflow of groundwater through the stream bed.

Groundwater that enters a gaining stream is coming from a saturated zone. Gaining stream channels are typically at or below the water table level. When the water table crosses the land surface over a large, relatively flat area, bodies of water and marshes are formed.

The channels of gaining streams are usually at or below the level of the water table. Bodies of water and marshes form when the water table intersects the land surface over a broad, fairly flat area.

"Gaining stream," which typically draws water from the earth. The term "losing streams" refers to streams that leak water into the earth from the streambed. Rivers can grow and shrink in different places; they can grow at one point in the year and shrink at another. Additionally, even a stream that is growing will be losing some water, as the yellow arrow illustrates, and vice versa.

Causes of Japan's ageing population
Fed [463]

Answer:

The decline in Japan's fertility rate has been attributed to several factors such as changing lifestyles, people marrying later in life or not marrying at all, and the economic insecurity of younger generation. Increasing life expectancy is another driving force behind the aging trend.
