d. High elevations decrease temperatures but have no effect on wind and storm patterns.

Answer:

The weather and climate are affected in a way that the high elevations decrease temperature and block wind and storm patterns.

Explanation:

A is correct because with increasing elevation the temperature gradually drops, usually around 1 degree Celsius per 100 m, and also manages to block the winds and storm patterns, managing to influence the local or even regional climate significantly.

B is not correct because it is a fact that the higher the elevation the lower the temperature is.

C is not correct because the temperature drops with an increased elevation, not the other way around.

D is not correct because the places of high elevation have a big impact on the wind and storm patterns.
