Temperature is influenced by altitude, latitude, topography, vegetation, and slope. The vertical gradient of temperature over the earth's surface is called the lapse rate/ decrease in temperature. Adaptation is the characteristic of living form which develops over a period of time and enables them to survive and reproduce within the limits of a particular environment in order to live successfully. Most of the organism lives in a narrow range of temperature that is 25 to 35-degree celsius. In ectotherms/ cold-blooded organisms, high/ low temperature causes inactivity or even death of an organism. In some organisms body temperature remains fixed, they are endotherms/ warm-blooded. So take this quiz and know more about the adaptation of temperature.
