Earth's stratosphere is heated by which process?
The stratosphere is primarily heated by the absorption of UV radiation by ozone molecules, leading to an increase in temperature with altitude. This absorption causes the temperature to rise in the lower stratosphere but decreases with altitude due to the decreasing concentration of ozone.
How does temperature change with altitude in the troposhere?
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude. This is because the troposphere is primarily heated from the Earth's surface, so as you move higher, you are moving away from the heat source and temperatures cool down due to lower air pressure and density. This relationship is known as the environmental lapse rate.
Why does warmmer air have lower air pressure?
It depends on the altitude. Taken normally at sea level, warm air has lower pressure than colder air at the same altitude.
Air at lower altitude is what compared to air at higher altitude?
the higher you are the more the density decreases
How does altitude relate to temperature?
The higher the altitude the lower the temperature.
How does altitude relate to climate?
The higher the altitude the colder the climate, the warmer the climate the lower the altitude.
What heats the lower atmosphere?
The lower atmosphere is primarily heated by the sun's radiation. As sunlight enters the atmosphere, it warms the Earth's surface, which then emits heat energy back into the atmosphere. This process creates a temperature gradient, with warmer air near the surface and cooler air at higher altitudes.
Is the altitude higher or lower if the temperature remains the same?
lower
What does altitude do to the air pressure?
makes 40% oxygen than lower altitude
What is the relation between the altitude compared to sea level and the boiling point of water?
In general, the higher the altitude, the lower the pressure, and the lower the pressure the lower the boiling point.
How does altitude in the atmosphere affect air pressure?
The greater the altitude, the lower the air pressure.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. How does temperature change with altitude in the troposphere?
In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with increasing altitude. This is because the troposphere is heated from the ground up by solar radiation, causing the lower layers to be warmer than the higher layers. This temperature decrease is known as the lapse rate.
