(i) How altitude influences climate.
• Temperature decreases with increase in height above sea level. This is because atmospheric air is denser at low altitude than high altitude.
• There is grater heat loss at high altitude due to few obstacles to interfere with outgoing terrestrial radiation hence low temperatures.
• Air pressure is higher in the lowlands due to greater weight of air above.
ii) Distance from the sea
• During summer cooler winds from the sea are onshore and modify temperature of
• The coastal land.
• During winter the sea water which is relatively warmer than land brings warming effect to the coastal land therefore modifying temperature.
• Onshore winds carry a lot of moisture from the sea bringing rainfall to coastal lands.
