Question

question 12
choose the statement that correctly links an areas physical features to its climate.
the higher the elevation, the warmer it gets.
the closer you get to the equator, the colder it gets.
land areas far from large bodies of water have little precipitation.
it gets warmer the farther away you move from large bodies of water.

Explanation:

• Generally, higher elevations have colder temperatures due to lower air - pressure and less heat retention. So "The higher the elevation, the warmer it gets" is incorrect.
• Areas closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and are warmer, so "The closer you get to the equator, the colder it gets" is wrong.
• Land far from large water bodies lacks the moderating effect of water and also has less moisture for precipitation, which is correct.
• Large water bodies moderate temperature. Areas farther from water tend to have more extreme temperatures, not necessarily warmer. So "It gets warmer the farther away you move from large bodies of water" is incorrect.

Answer:

Land areas far from large bodies of water have little precipitation.
