NO:
Refers to elevation of earths surface - farther up you go the colder it gets - because the atoms in the air are farther spread apart.
Westerlies and eastward winds - colder where wind is blowing.
Water takes longer to heat up and cool down - changes temperature on land.
Extends from a great distance - distance away from the equator,means more or less sunlight, means different temperature.

They also believe that the plates are moving because of magnetic forces that are pushing and pulling them together
