Correct answers:
- The higher the elevation, the cooler the temperatures.
- Temperatures in the region range from very hot to well below freezing.
Brief explanation: Elevation causes a strong lapse rate (cooling with height), so low-elevation valleys and foothills can be very hot while high puna and glacier zones are below freezing. Crops cannot be grown at the highest elevations, and altitude affects temperature more directly than it does precipitation (precipitation is more a function of prevailing winds and orographic effects).
