the reason it gets colder is beacause the psi. drops and when it drops the general air tempurature get significantly colder than average.

Why the does the climate become colder and dryer as you climb up a mountain?
because space is cold so the higher you go the colder it gets
Which process increases the temperature of the atmosphere?
You know that as you go up, it gets colder. The troposphere would be the warmest layer and evaporation happens there
Does air pressure get lower or higher the farther you go up in Earth's atmosphere?
it gets higher becaus ethe higher you go the more pressure is on you i think
How does a mountaintop even in the tropics stay covered in snow all year round?
Generally speaking, the higher up you go in the atmosphere, the colder it gets. When you get more than a few miles above sea level, it is perpetually below freezing, no matter where in the world you are.
As you go up in altitude going higher in the atmosphere does the temperature of the air in the troposphere increase or decrease?
Air pressure decreases as you move away from the earth into the atmosphere. Think of it as the air above you pushes down on you. The farther up you go, the less air is above you to push down. Air temp also decreases as you go up.
When you get higher in the atmosphere does the air get warmer or colder?
colder, the farther up you go, the lower the tempurature
Would you get hotter or colder as you went higher up in the atmosphere?
Upto Ozon Layer it get colder and then start increasing the temperature.......
Why it is colder at the peak of a mountain?
The higher you go in the atmosphere, the cooler it gets. This is the result of something called adiabatic cooling. At higher altitudes, the air is less compressed than at low altitudes, because there is less air weighing down on it. When you decompress a gas, it cools.
Why are mountains covered in ice?
The atmosphere gets colder as you go up. The reason is that the lower portion of the atmosphere is heated from below (by the heating of the land surface), and the higher you go the farther you are from the heat source, that is why it is cooler and covered in ice most of the time.
When you climb higher what happens to you?
when you climb higher you will get colder and colder when you go higher.2. it dosent have much air when you get up so take breathing equietment.
Is the temperature in the troposhere warm or cold?
Cold because the higher up you go in the atmosphere the colder it gets, but the warmest layer of the atmosphere is the thermoshere. Also a good indication of the temperature of a layer in the atmosphere is to look at the weather, because on a good sized mountain there is snow at the top.
Why does the temperature decrease as elevation increases?
The heat of the earth escapes through the atmosphere into outer space. Greenhouse gases interfere with/ clog up that process. The higher up in the atmosphere, the colder it is. So it is colder at higher elevations. Also, the low air pressure a sparsity of air particles cause the air to be thinner and colder
How does the temperature changes as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
How does the temperature chang as you travel up the atmosphere?
It gets colder as you travel up in the atmosphere.
Why the does the climate become colder and dryer as you climb up a mountain?
because space is cold so the higher you go the colder it gets
Why does cloud formation occur higher up?
Because clouds occur when water condenses from water vapour to tiny water droplets. Water condenses when it is cold enough, and higher up in the atmosphere, it is colder.
Why Atmosphere gets cooler as you go up from the surface of the earth?
The atmosphere gets cooler at higher elevations because there are less atoms up there. Because there are less atoms, it feels colder because there is less thermal energy exchanged between the thermometer and the atoms in the air. Ex. a few atoms at 50 degrees would feel colder than a lot of atoms at 50 degrees.
