What difference is there in the temperatures on a mountain and on a seashore?

उत्तर
The temperature on a mountain is generally lower than on a seashore. This is due to the Normal Lapse Rate, which indicates that temperature decreases by about 6°C for every 1,000 meters of elevation gain above sea level. This means as you ascend a mountain, the air becomes cooler. That's why mountain tops are cooler than their bases and why hill stations in tropical countries are pleasant in summer.
In contrast, coastal areas or seashores experience a moderate climate due to the influence of the sea. Water heats up and cools down more slowly than land, leading to smaller daily and annual temperature ranges. Sea breezes during the day and land breezes at night help maintain a balance in temperature along coastal areas.
