The environmental lapse rate (ELR), is the rate of decrease of temperature with altitude in the stationary atmosphere at a given time and location.
While Normal Lapse Rate is average concept for temperature decline with height in the troposphere.

What is the normal environmental lapse rate?
Usually somewhere between moist and dry adiabatic lapse rates: 6.5 C/1000 m - 10C/1000 m. It varies though seasonally, with location, and with time of day.
When the environmental lapse rate is between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates conditions are described as what?
They are called conditionally unstable,
What is the standard temperature lapse rate in the troposphere?
The standard temperature lapse rate or environmental lapse rate as it is more commonly known is basically the temperature difference between the tropopause surface divided by height. This uses the formula -dT/dz and essentially shows the temperature decreasing as the height above the tropopause increases.
1 degree c of cooling per 160 meters of altitude?
occurs in the tropopause- environmental lapse rate or normal elapse rate ELR
Why is saturated adiabatic lapse rate a lesser than dry adiabatic lapse rate?
When environmental lapse rate is more than dry adiabatic lapse rate, the atmosphere is said to be in
Assuming a normal environmental lapse rate of 6.5 C per 100 meters and a surface temperature of 30 C at what elevation would a temperature of 4 C be found?
400 meters
Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
What is the actual decrease in temperature with an increase in altitude through the tropospher?
Environmental lapse rate
What environmental lapse rate does stability prevail?
less than the wet adiabotic rate
Use lapse in a sentence?
There was a lapse in time between the beginning and end of the experiment.
What is the difference between ethical dilemma and ethical lapse?
You face an ethical dilemma when you must choose between two or more conflicting alternatives that both seem valid and ethical. An ethical lapse, on the other hand, occurs when you make a choice that is clearly unethical and or illegal. An ethical dilemma can lead to an ethical lapse but doesn't necessarily do so.
What must the environmental lapse be in order for stability to prevail?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
