How much does the temperature drop as you go higher?
In the troposphere (the first 4 km or 36,000 feet), and in a non-temperature inversion situation, the temperature drops about 6.5 °C for every 1 km increase in altitude, or approximately 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet.
A layer in a body of water in which water temperature drops with increased depth faster than it does in other layers?
This is known as a thermocline. It is a layer where the temperature decreases rapidly with depth. The thermocline often separates the warm surface waters from the colder deeper waters in a lake or ocean.
What are high speed winds and high altitudes known as?
I think it is winds,speed, and altitude
What happens to the freezing temperature of a solution of table salt in water as the solution becomes more concentrated?
As concentration of a solute (like table salt) in a solvent increases, the freezing point of water lowers. The vapor pressure also decreases, and the boiling point increases. These are known as water's colligative properties.
Filling the orbitals in the order of increasing energy is known as?
Aufbau
How does the temperature change within the stratosphere?
The temperature changes within the stratosphere with increasing distance from the earth. The temperature increases with altitude, reaching a maximum of about 2 degrees Celsius This is unlike the troposphere, where the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. The heating is caused by the ozone layerbecause as it absorbs solar radiation, the heat around the ozone layer charges the particles in the upper stratosphere as it releases some energy, increasing its temperature. This is also simply known as conduction. Unlike the troposphere, the stratosphere is generally stable, and the warmer air does not cool down and fall like how it does in the troposphere.
How is the altitude affected by the temperature?
Temperature changes with an increase or decrease of altitude. This change is known as the "lapse rate" and it varies depending on the amount of moisture in the particular mass of air. The "dry adiabatic lapse rate" (for dry air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 3 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude, while the "wet adiabatic lapse rate" (for moist air masses) is a temperature decrease of about 1.66 degrees C per thousand feet of altitude. For average conditions, a figure of 3.5 degrees F (2 degrees C) per 1000 feet is commonly used.
In the troposphere does the temperature increase or decrease with altitude?
In the troposphere, temperatures decrease with altitude (air pressure), in the effect known as the adiabatic lapse rate (9.8 °C per thousand feet).
Why does air cool when it rises through the atmosphere what type of cooling is it known as?
Air cools becuase when its rising through the atmosphere altitude decreases temperature, and when air rises its temperature drops at the dry abiatic rate. This type of cooling is known as adiabatic.

The atmospheric relationship between altitude and temperatureis known as?
Its known as either a temperature lapse or a temperature inversion. Hope this helps! :)
Which temperature phenomenon occurs when the troposphere gets hotter as altitude increases?
this is known as a temperature inversion
What is the temperature for water to start increasing its volume?
4 degrees celcious. this is known as anomalous property of expansion.
Does solubility increase or decrease if temperature increases?
As the temperature increases:The solubility of a solid in a liquid increasesThe solubility of a liquid in a liquid increasesThe solubility of a gas in a liquid decreases(The solubility of liquids and solids increase as temperature increases, while the solubility of gases decreases as temperature increases.)
What do you call of the altitude of a pyramid?
The distance from the apex to the base of a pyramid is known as the altitude.
What effects air pressure and density?
Volume and Temperature. Higher temperature increases pressure and decreases density. Lower temperature decreases pressure and increases density. (Except with water, in which case ice is less dense than liquid water. [Keep in mind that vapor is still less dense than liquid and follows the rules.] This is the only exception known to me). Higher volume decreases pressure and increases density. Lower volume increases pressure and decreases density.
What animal is known to live at the highest altitude?
The bar-headed goose flys at the highest altitude and reaches the highest altitude of any animal.
