What is relationship between temperature and elevation?
Temperature decreases as the elevation increases.
Temperature vs elevation?
As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.
What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
When latitude increases does temperature decrease?
The close the latitude is to 0, the hotter it is.
How does the air's capacity to hold water change as elevation increase?
As elevation increases, temperature decreases approximately at the rate of 12.5 degrees c every 1km upwards. As air temperature decreases, its capacity to hold water is less. Therfore as elevation increases, its water capacity will decrease.
What is the link between elevation and climate?
As the elevation increases, the climate tends to lean towards the colder side. For every 300m elevation, the temperature decreases by 2 degree Celsius.
What happens to temperature as elevation increase?
As elevation increases temperature decreases reaching the coldest altitude (around -90 degrees C). Once you ascend into the Thermosphere (56 miles high) The temperatures will be extremely high, ranging from 200 degrees C up to 500 Degrees C as you climb in elevation.
What happens to the temperature of the air when elevation increases in the troposphere?
As you go higher into the atmosphere, the temperature decreases, because air lower down has absorbed all the heat reflected by the earth's sur
What decreases as elevation increases?
Air Pressure.
Air density decreases with elevation increase. Is there an equation to make this calulation?
as you increase elevation (height above sea level0the density of the air decreases.
How does temperature change as you climb up a mountain?
As you ascend the mountain the atmospheric temperature will decrease by about 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1 km (that is why the tops of high mountains have snow on them).
What effect does elevation have on average temperature?
As you rise, Oxygen decreases. That's why you need a oxygen mask to provide you with sustainance while in high altitudes. The air molecules are further apart and move much slower, there for making the temperture cold.
