6
How do mountains impact climate?
Can block prevailing winds from blowing, causing rain shadows.
The higher up a location is the colder it will likely be.
Creates more mild climates due to how the energy from the sun is absorbed.
Absorbs more energy from the sun- higher temp, & creates microclimates.
7

Respiration
9
Wind moves from areas of _________ to _________ pressure.
low to high
high to high
low to low
high to low
10
What happens to temperature in the Troposphere as elevation increases?
The temperature decreases because of low pressure and high altitude
The temperature increases because the sun is closer
The temperature stays the same
The temperature increases because of low pressure and high altitude
11
How do buildings and cities impact climate?
Absorbs more energy from the sun- higher temp, & creates microclimates.
Creates more mild climates due to how the energy from the sun is absorbed.
The higher up a location is the colder it will likely be.
Impacted by the amount of direct sunlight a location receives.
