The bigger the mountain, the greater the climate compared with the free atmosphere over the lowlands. When establishing the relationship between mountains and heat balance, its latitude position should be considered.
Continental degree, cloud cover, wind force, rainfall and surface conditions. Generally speaking, the climate effect of mountains is similar to the increase of continental degree, and its temperature range is larger than that of hills.
The bigger the mountain, the higher the upper limit of plant growth, and the higher the corresponding vertical natural belt boundary. The mountain effect is more obvious in mountainous areas than in marginal areas. For example, the upper limit of mountain forest in the southeast of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau rises from the edge to the inside (compared with the same latitude), and the upper limit of crop planting also has a similar trend.
Mountain effect also has an impact on the mountain itself. Compared with lowlands, the air pressure, temperature and humidity in mountainous areas have decreased, while sunshine and radiation have increased to some extent.
There are different degrees of heavy rainfall, and the distribution of many different climatic zones on the hillside is somewhat similar to that from the equator to the poles. At low latitudes, the height can be adjusted.
The role of temperature, therefore, even on the equator, the mountains will be covered with snow all year round. In mountainous areas, the wind direction changes every day, which is similar to the land and sea wind.
Generally speaking, the climate effect of mountains is similar to the increase of continental degree, and its temperature range is larger than that of hills. The upper limit of plant growth is high, and the corresponding vertical natural zone boundary is also high. hillock
