Why can high mountain places be cool even at low latitudes?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Temperature decreases with altitude

Latitude affects the angle and amount of solar heating, but altitude can strongly modify temperature. At higher elevations, air pressure is lower and the air is generally cooler. Therefore a mountain region can remain cool even when it is located in a low or warm latitude. The Sun still reaches the mountain, and the sea is not required to explain the cooling. The statement is about a general climatic effect, not an absolute rule for every hour.

The correct choice is C because increasing altitude usually lowers temperature. Choice A is not necessary because many high mountains are far from the sea. Choice B is false because sunlight reaches high places, and choice D is too absolute: precipitation does not always become snow. When explaining the climate of a mountain place, compare both latitude and elevation rather than using latitude alone.
