Answer to Question 1

Quito is at a high elevation in the Andes, and temperature drops an average of 6.5C per kilometer gain in elevation.

Answer to Question 2

Isotherms illustrate one of the most fundamental aspects of world temperature distribution: that the effectiveness of incoming solar radiation in heating Earth's surface and the atmosphere above is largely a function of latitude.
