Details
Altitudinal zonation or Altitudinal variation is the creation of zones to explain the different characteristic climates at different elevations. The different zones can support different vegetation, agriculture, etc. As one moves to higher elevation points one enters different altitudinal zones. Founded by a geographer named Alexander von Humboldt. Humboldt is also credited with Environmental Lapse Rate - the measure of how many degrees temperature drops as you move to higher elevation. By his delineation (in 1817) of "isothermal lines", he at once suggested the idea and devised the means of comparing the climatic conditions of various countries.
