Debunking the Myth: Examining Diurnal Temperature Variation in Mountainous Regions vs Sea Level
Natural EnvironmentsDiurnal temperature variation refers to the difference in temperature between the highest and lowest points of a day. It is a natural phenomenon that is influenced by several factors, including the angle of the sun, cloud cover, humidity, wind, and altitude. It is commonly believed that mountains experience less daily temperature variation than sea level.
