8 TH GRADE SOCIAL STUDIES BY T. HARRIS ACADEMIC VOCABULARY

Altitude Above sea level 8,000ft or 2,400m Regions on the Earth's surface (or in its atmosphere) that are high above mean sea level are referred to as high altitude. High altitude is sometimes defined to begin at 2,400 metres (8,000 ft) above sea level. [4][5][6]Earth [4][5][6] Because of the lower pressure, the air expands as it rises, which causes it to cool. [8][9] Thus, high altitude air is cold, which causes a characteristic alpine climate. This climate dramatically affects the ecology at high altitude. [8][9] alpine climate
