About this document
Altitude and Water by RimaQuitain is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Altitude affects climate by causing temperatures to drop approximately 6.5 degrees Celsius for every 1000 meters of increased elevation. Higher elevations have less dense air that cannot absorb as much heat. Water also impacts climate through its high heat capacity, which allows it to regulate temperatures near large bodies of water.
