What role does elevation play when a mountain has a wet,green climate on one side and a dry, arid climate on the other?
Mountains are so big that they can stretch through different climate zones.
As the air rises over the mountain, it cools and brings precipitation. By the time it sinks on the other side, there is no precipitation left.
Mountaintops are under high pressure systems, so there would not be as much precipitation that high up.
The height of the mountain means that one side will get a lot of direct solar radiation, but it blocks the solar radiation from hitting the other side, causing different climates.

Why do we consider latitude when studying an area’s climate?
Areas near the equator have a lot more mountains, and mountains affect where precipitation falls.
Areas near the equator get indirect sunlight all year, so they would be warmer than areas farther from the equator.
Areas near the equator are warmer because of the direct sunlight, while areas farther from the equator are colder.
Areas near the equator have a lot more beaches, which means they have low elevation, causing them to be warmer.
