In this case, habitats get smaller with increasing altitude, and their species richness is predicted to decrease, leading biodiversity to peak at foot of the cone and steadily decrease with elevation.

Birds presumably increase their altitude at dawn to try to see how much farther they have to go; if they decide it's too far, they go back to try again the next night, leading to higher concentrations of migrants on near shores.

It is interesting to note the temperature actually increases with increasing altitude for a small range when using the cold or polar atmospheres.

The reason is that part of the CO2 absorption and emission takes place in the stratosphere, where the temperature gradient is positive, i.e. there is warming with increasing altitude, instead of cooling.

Relative humidity decreases with isothermally decreasing pressure, but not as fast as it increases with decreasing temperature when both are the result of increasing altitude.

One of the main reasons for this is that the rate at which temperatures cool with increasing altitude (known as the lapse rate) is greater in dry air than it is in moist air.

(Wells was quite aware of what we now call the lapse rate — the decline of temperature with increasing altitude; observers such as Horace De Saussure, whom we met in Part One, had written about this.
