Few people, animals, plants, or even microbes live there.he Atacama is in the country of Chile in South America.

India's northernmost areas are subject to a montane, or alpine, climate. In the Himalayas, the rate at which an air mass's temperature falls per kilometre (3,281 ft) of altitude gained (the dry adiabatic lapse rate) is 9.8 Â°C/km. In terms of environmental lapse rate, ambient temperatures fall by 6.5 Â°C (11.7 Â°F) for every 1,000 metres (3,281 ft) rise in altitude.
