Select the correct answer.

Answer 1

High elevations, even those near the equator, tend to have cooler climates

Explanation:

The knowledge that would have helped Marcus better prepared for his hike is that high elevations even those near the equator tends to have cooler climates.

It is a common parlance in geography that "the higher you go up, the cooler it becomes".

There is noticeable decrease in temperature as elevation rises.

• Areas on the surface are hot because of the long wave radiation emitted by the ground.
• These radiation interacts with the atmosphere to produce heat.
• This effect diminishes as we ascend up.
• temperature decreases by about 5.4°F for every 1,000 feet up you go in elevation.
