How do elevation, exposure, and slope aspect affect the microclimates of highland regions? What are the major climatic differences between highland regions and nearby lowlands?
The way in which elevation, exposure, and slope aspect affect the microclimates of highland regions. Also describe the major climatic differences between highland regions and nearby lowlands.
The decrease in temperature with increase in altitude is about
The factors that control highland climates include elevation, exposure, and slope aspect. Similar to some coasts, some mountain slopes also face the prevailing wind. Others are leeward slopes or are sheltered behind higher topography. The nature of the wind, its temperature, and moisture content depend on the location of mountains
