Practice Question

Elevation above sea level and temperature are negatively-correlated variables. Which of the following statement describes the relationship between the variables?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

As elevation increases, temperature decreases

Rationale:

🌡️A negative correlation means that as one variable increases, the other decreases.

📉In this context, elevation and temperature are negatively correlated, so when elevation increases, the temperature drops.

📊This relationship is commonly observed in atmospheric science, where higher altitudes typically experience lower temperatures.

✅Thus, the correct description of the relationship is: as elevation increases, temperature decreases.


📌Core Message

There’s a negative correlation between elevation and temperature—as one increases, the other decreases.
