Which climate condition generally results from
both an increase in distance from the equator
and an increase in elevation above sea level?
(1) cooler temperatures
(2) warmer prevailing winds
(3) increased precipitation
(4) increased air pressure

When there is an increase in distance from the equator and increase in elevation above sea level, there will be a decrease of temperature resulting to cooler surrounding. This is because as the sea level increases, this will be an evidence that there is no heat energy that cause the water to evaporate from the sea. When water do not undergo evaporation, then the sea level will increase.
