Chile is a country in South America that has many different elevations, including high mountains and coastal lowlands. Why would temperatures in the mountains be cooler than temperatures found in the coastal lowlands? A.
Temperature stays the same at all elevations.
B.
Temperature goes down as elevation goes down.
C.
Temperature goes up as elevation goes up.
D.
Temperature goes down as elevation goes up.

Your answer is D, or Temperature goes down as elevation goes up.

Explanation:

The higher you go in elevation (in places like mountains for example), the cooler the temperature is the higher you go. This is why, for example, in Southern California, which is a warm if not hot climate, you can find snow up in mountains during the winter time, when down below it can be 70+ degrees.
