Altitude is one of the factors that influence the climate of a region. The air in the atmosphere becomes less dense as altitude increases, resulting in lower temperatures. Additionally, altitude also influences the amount of rainfall and the presence of winds. What are the main consequences of increasing altitude on the climate?

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by a wet winter and a dry summer, with mild average temperatures. The origin of this climate is attributed to the influence of the east trade winds and the surrounding oceans. Where is this type of climate most common?

Climate is one of the most important factors for life on Earth, as it directly influences the distribution and quality of existing natural resources. Climate is defined as the average atmospheric conditions of a region, which is determined by factors such as latitude, altitude, relief, and proximity to the sea. Which of these characteristics does NOT directly influence the climate?

It is one of the urban environmental problems that, although a natural phenomenon, can be exacerbated by human activities, especially those related to industrialization. More common in winter, it is characterized by the retention of cold air (denser) near the surface of the ground due to the hot air (less dense) acting as a barrier that hinders its circulation. As a result, the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is hindered, and the air in these areas becomes heavier, which can lead to respiratory diseases, eye irritation, and intoxications. Choose the alternative that correctly fills in the gap.
