If you were to hike up Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, you would pass through several habitats, including savanna at the base, forest on the slopes, and alpine tundra near the top. Explain how such diverse habitats can be found at one location near the equator.

Respuesta :

Given our knowledge of ecosystems, we can confirm that the diverse habitats found at one location near the equator are due to the changes in elevation.

The effects that elevation has on the climate are what enable the diversity of habitats on a single mountain. As elevation increases, atmospheric pressure decreases. This decrease in pressure then causes a decrease in temperature.

The base of the mountain is a dry and hot habitat, while as we travel upwards towards higher elevation we see a transition in habitats into a more tropical forest style and then eventually an alpine tundra, further proving the claim that elevation lowers the temperature.
