Answer 1

The weather is cooler at higher altitudes primarily due to **low pressure**. As altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases, leading to a decrease in temperature. The air is less dense at higher elevations, which means it has fewer air molecules to absorb and retain heat. Therefore, the correct response is **low pressure**.
