In the troposphere, the temperature drops. In the stratosphere (layer above the troposphere) it increases with elevation. In the mesosphere, temperature drops again with elevation. In the theromosphere, it goes up again (to nearly stellar surface temperatures).

How does elevation impact temperature and precipitation patterns?

Elevation affects temperature by causing a decrease in temperature as elevation increases. This is known as the lapse rate. As air rises in elevation, it expands and cools, leading to lower temperatures. Precipitation patterns are also influenced by elevation, with higher elevations typically receiving more precipitation due to orographic lifting, where air is forced to rise over mountains, leading to the condensation of moisture and precipitation.


What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?

As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.

If hot air rises why is it cooler in the mountains?

Temperature decreases with altitude due to the adiabatic lapse rate, where the atmosphere cools as it expands with elevation. This principle applies in mountains where the air rises, expands, and cools, resulting in lower temperatures at higher altitudes.
