Nancy Hicks · Answer 1

a). is lower in elevation than city B

Explanation:

Temperature of a place greatly varies with height or altitudes.

As we go higher the atmospheric pressure becomes less and the temperature decreases. We feel cold at higher altitude places and relatively hot at places of lower elevation. Therefore City A which is at lower elevation has greater annual temperature range than the temperature range of city B although they are located at the same latitude. City A is at lower altitude and City B's elevation is higher. So City A has higher temperature range than city b.
