As altitude increases, temperature decreases, hence why it often snows on mountains. This is due to the Greenhouse Effect, because rays from the sun reflect off the ground and travel upwards. Therefore, the sun most directly hits at sea level. Since the air is more dense at lower altitudes it more easily retains this heat.

As the altitude increases does the barometric pressure increase or decrease?
Decrease
Does the stratosphere's altitude increase or decrease?
As we go up in height, altitude increases. Thus the altitude increases.
What is the effect of a temperature decrease and a pressure altitude increase on the density altitude from 90 F and 1250 feet pressure altitude to 55 F and 1750 feet pressure altitude?
1,700-foot decrease.
Why the boiling point of water is 98 in Kaghan?
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase and the atmospheric pressure decrease.
What are different ways to manipulate air pressure?
Five ways:Temperature (increase in temperature means increase in pressure.)Velocity (increase the speed means decrease in pressure.)Amount of air particles (more particles means more pressure.)Changing the container (More space means less pressure.)Altitude (increase in altitude means decrease in pressure.)
Does temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the mesosphere?
The temperature in the troposphere and the mesosphere decrease with altitude.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the tropospere?
Decrease
As the altitude increases does the barometric pressure increase or decrease?
Decrease
Does plasma increase or decrease with altitude training?
It increases.
Does the stratosphere's altitude increase or decrease?
As we go up in height, altitude increases. Thus the altitude increases.
What gradient continues to decrease as you increase in altitude?
Air pressure.
What is the effect of a temperature decrease and a pressure altitude increase on the density altitude from 90 F and 1250 feet pressure altitude to 55 F and 1750 feet pressure altitude?
1,700-foot decrease.
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitiude in the troposphere?
The temperature decreases with altitude.
Does the gravitational attraction on an object increase or decrease with and increase in altitude?
it makes no difference you will still weigh the same
Does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude in the thermoshpere?
The temperature increases like the stratosphere
Why the boiling point of water is 98 in Kaghan?
The boiling point of water decrease when the altitude increase and the atmospheric pressure decrease.
What is the actual decrease in temperature with an increase in altitude through the tropospher?
Environmental lapse rate
