21. The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a  temperate  area at lower altitude gives way to higher-elevation terrain. Elevations around the world that have cold climates similar to those of the  polar regions  have been called  Alpine . A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. Weather
