The boundary where temperature begins to increase with elevation, instead of decrease with elevation is called the Tropopause. This is where the the atmospheric layer closest to the ground, the Troposphere, encounters the Stratosphere, the second layer of our atmosphere.

What plains rise in elevation to about 5000 feet but begin slightly above?

The elevated plains you're referring to could be considered as high plains or plateaus. These areas typically rise gradually to approximately 5000 feet above sea level, starting from a slightly elevated base. This gradual increase in elevation often results in expansive flat landscapes with moderate inclines.

Where does the troposphere stop getting colder?

The troposphere stops getting colder at the boundary known as the tropopause, which is the transition layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere. In the troposphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to decreasing atmospheric pressure. However, at the tropopause, temperatures stabilize and may even begin to increase with altitude in the stratosphere above. This temperature inversion marks the end of the cooling trend characteristic of the troposphere.

What region of the earths interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?

The heat increases to the point that rocks can begin to melt in the region known as the mantle. This layer lies beneath the Earth's crust and is composed of solid rock, but under high temperatures and pressure, some rocks can melt and form magma.


Which environmental factors cause solid rock to melt?

High temperatures, high pressure, and the presence of water can cause solid rock to melt. As temperatures and pressures increase within the Earth's crust and mantle, rocks can begin to melt and form magma. The presence of water lowers the melting point of rock by aiding in the breakdown of minerals.
