At Which of the Following Systems Would Environmental Temperatures Be

Question

At which of the following systems would environmental temperatures be the most variable?
A)hydrothermal vents
B)cave systems
C)bathypelagic systems of the world's oceans
D)alpine terrestrial systems

Accepted Answer

Alpine terrestrial systems would experience the most variable environmental temperatures as they are located at high altitudes and are subject to rapid temperature fluctuations due to changes in elevation, solar radiation, and atmospheric pressure. Hydrothermal vents, cave systems, and bathypelagic systems of the world's oceans have relatively stable temperatures compared to alpine terrestrial systems.
