Why is latitude a temperature factor?

• Because temperature decreases as we move away from Equator.

• Because temperature increases as we move away from Equator.

• Because temperature decreases as we move away from Prime Meridian.

• Latitude is not a temperature factor.

Why is latitude a precipitation factor?

• Because precipitation decreases as we move away from Equator.

• Because precipitation increases as we move away from Equator.

• Because precipitation decreases as we move away from Prime Meridian.

• Latitude is not a precipitation factor.

Why is altitude a temperature factor?

• The higher the altitude, the lower the temperature

• The higher the altitude, the higher the temperature

• The lower the altitude, the higher the temperature

• Altitude is not a temperature factor

Why is altitude a precipitation factor?

• The higher the altitude, the lower the precipitation

• The higher the altitude, the higher the precipitation

• The lower the altitude, the higher the precipitation

• Altitude is not a temperature factor
