Brandy has built a computer model of a weather system. She has included information about bodies of water, the Sun, and the atmosphere. Brandy records the average daily temperature of a continental city that is at sea level (City A). She then records the noontime temperature of a continental city at the same latitude but at a greater elevation (City B). If all other factors in her model are the same for both cities, A. City B will have a higher temperature overall than City A. B. It will always rain in City B but never in City A. C. It will always rain in City A but never in City B. D. City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B.

it answer is C

Explanation: because it is.

Karma Petty · Answer 2

City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B (D)

Explanation:

If all factors other than elevation are the same for both cities, then City A will have a higher temperature overall than City B. This is because there are fewer air molecules at higher elevations. Fewer air molecules mean less heat is absorbed by the atmosphere, and temperatures are lower. This is why areas high in the mountains are often much cooler than areas down on the plains.
