Ricardo is on vacation, doing some mountain climbing. he notices that the higher he goes up a mountain, the colder he feels. he remembers his physics teacher teaching about these types of relationships.
what is the type of relationship between mountain elevation and temperature?
a. a positive relationship
b. an inverse relationship
c. a neutral relationship
d. a direct relationship

If we climb the mountains, the pressure in the air decreases due to which the molecules are far apart and are not colliding much. The temperature of the air molecules is directly related to the collisions, if the number of collisions between the molecules is high then the air temperature will increase due to air friction. Hence, if the pressure decreases, the temperature will decreases as the number of air molecules colliding with each other will decrease. Hence, the temperature of the surroundings will fall.

Hence, the mountain elevation and temperature has an inverse relationship.

Answer is B

causes

fossil fuels burn

cities become more industrialized

human population grows worldwide
