Answer:
In general, highland climate is the climate that causes trees to fail to grow due to cold
Explanation:
Highland climate is the climate found on highland, which means mountains. It is also referred to as Alpine climate. Mountains need their own climate type, because the changes in the climate depend entirely on the altitude. The temperature drops around 3 degrees fahrenheit every 1000 feet in elevation, so the temperature in Highland depends on elevation. Also, there aren't any seasons in Highland climate, and any seasonal differences would only be noticed at low elevations, near the bottom of a mountain. The type of vegetation that grows in Highland also depends on elevation. At the base of the mountain the vegetation will be the same as the climate type in that area, and the higher you go, the vegetation will change to plants that can stand the colder weather, until eventually there will be no vegetation at very high elevations. A line is noticeable across high mountains called a "tree line" or "timberline", which marks and divides the areas were plants are able to grow, and areas that are too extreme for them to survive. In general, mountains have different tree lines, depending on several factors, such as temperature, soil and moisture.
