*dont forget to answer the questions on screen 7

Explanation:

The scenario compares two cities at the same latitude, with the only key difference being their height above sea level (one in mountains, one at sea level). Elevation directly affects temperature, as air temperature decreases with increasing altitude, causing higher elevation areas to be colder.

Answer:

B. Elevation
