Altitude altitude and more altitude

Answered by brianarose | 2024-06-10

Mild temperatures in certain parts of Latin America, despite their tropical location, are primarily influenced by elevation and geographic factors. Higher altitudes lead to cooler temperatures through a climate zonation system. Major cities at elevated locations, like MedellĂ­n, exemplify how altitude affects local climate.
