MOUNTAIN CLIMATEPluvia Loriente

- It is found in the highest Mountains

-Temperatures are low in Winter and cool in Summer.-Temperatures grow colder going up the mountain.-There is abundant precipitation during the year.- It often snows in Winter.

INTERESTING FACT Mount Everest is in the Himalayas range in Asia. It is the highest mountain in the world

It is found in the highest mountain ranges. Himalayas in Asia, the Andes in South America and Alps and Pirinees in Europe.

In temperate zones mountains are not populated, people live in valleys.In hot zones mountains are densely populated because of the lower temperature.Vegetation Changes from a part of a mountain to another. Changes with altitude because of the different temperature.There is less vegetation in windy places. The vegatation in sunny slopes is different from the shady slopes.Where?
