Question 1:
Why is that the air temperature decreases as the altitude increases?
Answer:
As you increase in elevation, there is less air above you thus the pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands), and the temperature decreases.
Question 2:
How does the climate in costal areas differ from that of continental areas or placed near land masses?
Answer:
Distance from the sea (Continentality)
The sea affects the climate of a place. Coastal areas are cooler and wetter than inland areas. Clouds form when warm air from inland areas meets cool air from the sea. The centre of continents are subject to a large range of temperatures.
