Which climate condition generally results from an increase in elevation above sea level?
The temperature will decrease.
Is it possible to have snow that sticks to the ground when it is above 32 degrees Fahrenheit?
Only for a very short time. Recorded weather readings are taken at a height of 5 feet above the ground. If the ground has been frozen, the air temperature at ground level will be a few degrees cooler than the official temperature. It is not unusual for snow to remain for days or even weeks in shaded areas when the air temperature is well above freezing during the afternoons but near or below freezing at night.
Which layer is temperature increasing with increasing altitude?
The layer in which temperatures increase with elevation is the troposphere. This is the layer above the surface of the Earth. The troposphere contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer.
How does conduction increase the temperature of above earth's surface?
[hope that you mean the "air layer" just above the earth] Conduction is the way of energy transmission in solids. But when it comes to the air it is by convection & radiation. So when the solar radiations reach the earth they heat up the surrounding air molecules. Further they heat up the ground. So next the ground becomes the heat source for the air & heat energy is transmitted to the air layer just above by convection.
How hot does it have to be for snow to melt?
How hot does it have to be for ice to turn into water? Its the same thing. Ice melts at anything above 0º Celsius (32º Fahrenheit). Both the air and ground temperature would have to be above 0º. If just the air temperature was above 0º, then you would end up with sheet ice, as the top snow would melt to be re-frozen when it comes into direct contact with the ground.
How can there be frost when the temperature is above freezing?
Because the temperature is often a few degrees colder right at the surface. This is because cold air sinks, and if it is not mixed (as under calm conditions) the temperature will be colder at the surface than it is 2 meters above ground, where temperature is officially measured.
How do you calculate a temperature increase from minus 15 to 45 degrees?
In order to walk from 15 below ground to 45 above ground, you have to climb a total of 60 floors.
Is the temperature of the air high above the ground above or below 0?
ABOVE
The temperature of the air high above the ground is often?
less
One of two conditions needed to melt minerals into magma?
crystallization above ground and crystallization below ground
Does the temperature of air high above the ground often above or below 0C?
Where air planes fly, the temperature is below freezing.
What is the highest temperature of the major deserts?
The hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913. An even warmer temperature of 136 degrees was recorded a few years later in Libya but that has been discounted as inaccurate as it was not properly measured by untrained Italian soldiers. A recent ground temperature was measured by a satellite in Iran that was even hotter but the ground temperature does not reflect the temperature of the air above it. Anyone who has walked barefoot over an asphalt parking lot in summer can attest to that.
