How does higher altitude affect climate?

• The closer you get to the equator, the hotter it gets.

• The higher you go above sea level, the colder it gets.

• The farther you travel from the equator, the colder it gets.

Why there’s different global climate?

• Because of the Earth’s titling

• Because of the windward and leeward

• Because of the latitude, altitude, distance from the ocean, topography and ocean currents
