I want to know the answer to the following question:
What are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher-elevation terrain?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of temperature, often accompanied by precipitation in the form of snow or rain.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
