Remember that, as a rule, temperatures decrease with an increase in altitude. if you were studying the effects of climate change on the geographic ranges of species living in the mountains and your climate records showed that mean temperatures were increasing, you would predict that species ranges would show a shift toward: a)higher elevations. b)lower elevations. c)intermediate elevations. d)unpredictable elevations—the precise response would depend on individual species, with no clear trends or averages. e)none of the answer options is correct.

A) Higher Elevations

Explanation:

The species living in mountains or high elevations are generally arctic such as polar bear and reindeer. Arctic species cannot survive in the relatively higher temperature so they need constant cold environment to survive and grow. As the mean temperatures of the geographic area is increasing, it pose high threats to cold species so they migrate to a higher elevations. Higher elevations would still have lower temperature than the corresponding lower elevations.

this age may represent the age of the earth's accretion, of core formation, or of the material from which the earth formed. this dating is based on evidence from radiometric age-dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.
