What else can I help you with?
Does the temperture rise or drop in the troposphere?
The temperature generally decreases as you move higher up in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. This decrease in temperature is known as the lapse rate and is due to the lower pressure at higher altitudes.
What can cause a solid to change into a liquid?
A rise in temperature
Why does water vapor not rise into the stratosphere?
Water vapor does not rise into the stratosphere primarily due to the temperature inversion that occurs at the boundary between the troposphere and stratosphere. In the troposphere, temperature decreases with altitude, allowing rising air to cool and condense, forming clouds. However, in the stratosphere, temperatures increase with altitude, creating a stable layer that inhibits the vertical movement of air and water vapor. Additionally, most water vapor condenses and precipitates out in the troposphere before it can reach the stratosphere.
Why does the rise in temperature cause our climate to change?
Define "climate". Note the importance of temperature.
How does the temp change as you travel up through the atmosphere?
As you ascend through the Earth's atmosphere, the temperature generally decreases in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer, due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. However, as you continue upward into the stratosphere, the temperature starts to increase with altitude because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This pattern continues in the thermosphere, where temperatures rise significantly again due to solar radiation. Overall, the temperature variation is influenced by the different layers and their interactions with solar energy.
What is the overall rise in earth's average temperature called?
The rise in temperature is called Global Warming. This global warming of the earth is causing Climate Change. These two things are not the same thing.
How do temperature change with altitude in the stratosphere?
In the stratosphere, temperature increases with altitude due to the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by the ozone layer, which is concentrated in this atmospheric layer. As altitude increases, the ozone absorbs more UV radiation, leading to a rise in temperature. This contrasts with the troposphere below, where temperature typically decreases with altitude. The temperature inversion in the stratosphere creates a stable atmospheric layer, preventing vertical mixing.
How does temperature change as you move up through the atmosphere?
As you move up through the atmosphere, temperature generally decreases in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer, due to the decreasing pressure and density of air. However, in the stratosphere, temperatures begin to rise with altitude because of the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer. This pattern continues into the mesosphere, where temperatures drop again, and then rises once more in the thermosphere due to the absorption of high-energy solar radiation. Thus, temperature changes in a complex manner based on the atmospheric layer.
What layer of the atmosphere is a weather balloon in?
A weather balloon typically ascends through the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the Earth's atmosphere where most weather phenomena occur. It can rise into the stratosphere, the layer above the troposphere, where it may reach altitudes of up to 30 kilometers (about 18.6 miles). The primary purpose of these balloons is to collect data on temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure as they ascend.
How can liquid change into a gas?
A liquid can change to a gas, by heating up and evaporating into the air.
What 2 things can make the pressure of gas rise?
1) Increase in heat 2)Decrease in volume
What term is characterized by a rise in temperature and change on climate patterns?
Global warming
