maybe its when the air of the atmosphere gets thiner and thiner.

∙ 7y agoThe temperature in the atmosphere decreases as altitude increases. The reason for this is there is less warmth from the surface of the earth reaching the higher altitudes because there are fewer particles of the atmosphere to transfer the heat. The temperature begins to increase, however, around 100km in altitude because of the heat and radiation from the sun.

∙ 9y agoAs you go higher in the atmosphere the gases start to compose or join together which causes them to change since there is mixture of more than one gas. Sometimes they form a different element when certain gases form.

What happens as you go up a mountain?
Increasing elevation leads to a lower amount of air, mass, weight and pressure. It can also lead to a decreasing temperature.
What Happens to a climate as one goes up in elevation?
I don't know about climate but the adiabatic lapse rate (the amount it gets cooler as you go up) is 3.1 degrees F for every 1,000 feet rise in elevation.
Why can an aneroid barometer be used as an as altimeter?
The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.
What decreases as air rises that allows it to expand?
As you go up in elevation, the local air pressure drops, because there is less air above you to push Dow (gravity) to produce the pressure. Less pressure allows the air to expand.
What happens to the gases produced when a candle burns?
It produces carbon dioxide.
What happens as you go up a mountain?
Increasing elevation leads to a lower amount of air, mass, weight and pressure. It can also lead to a decreasing temperature.
What country has lighter air than Florida?
Air gets less dense or lighter as you go up in elevation. So, any area with an elevation higher than 100 feet ( the average elevation of Florida) will have lighter air.
What happens to temperature as you go up in elevation?
It gets colder by 1 degree Celsius for about every 160 meters you go up.
What happens to air pressure when you travel higher and higher?
The higher up you go in elevation the thinner the air around you becomes making it hard to breathe for many people.
If you go up a mountain will air pressure become less?
Yes, as you go up a mountain, the air pressure will become less. This is because the weight of the air above decreases as you gain elevation, resulting in lower atmospheric pressure.
How does air pressure vary with elevation?
The pressure of the air on one square-inch of your head is the weight of air from that square-inch all the way up to the top of the atmosphere. As you go up in elevation, some of the atmosphere is below you, and there is less of it above you. So the weight on each square inch, and thus the air pressure, becomes less.
What Happens to a climate as one goes up in elevation?
I don't know about climate but the adiabatic lapse rate (the amount it gets cooler as you go up) is 3.1 degrees F for every 1,000 feet rise in elevation.
What happens to air pressure as you go up a mountain?
The air pressure slowly decreases as you rise in altitude.
What happens when chromium and calcium are put together?
They both go up in the air
Why can an aneroid barometer be used as an as altimeter?
The aneroid measures elevation and air pressure has an airtight chamber that is sensetive to changes in the air pressures. Hope this helps.
Why is a bag puffed up when you are 3000 meters high?
It was packaged at a lower elevation where the air pressure is higher. As you move to a higher elevation the external air pressure decreases, but the air pressure in the bag stays the same. So the bag "blows up" like a balloon because the pressure inside it much greater than the pressure outside. Same thing happens in your ears.
What happens to air temperature as you go up mountain?
It decreases because as you move up in altitude the air becomes thinner making it colder.
