The layer in which temperatures increase with elevation is the troposphere. This is the layer above the surface of the Earth. The troposphere contains half of the Earth's atmosphere. Weather occurs in this layer.

∙ 11y agoIn the stratosphere, at heights around 10-20 km above the ground, the
temperature is almost the same. From about 20 to 50 km above, the
temperature increases.
In the lower part of the stratosphere, the temperature increases with
height. The same is observed starting from the thermosphere up to the
exosphere.

The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. How does temperature change with altitude in the troposphere?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
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.
If the depth of the layer between 1000mb and 500mb is increasing with time if the surface temperature likely to be increasing or decreasing?
Assuming the depth of the layer is restricted to between 1000mb and 500mb, and increasing with time, it is almost certain that the surface temperature will remain constant, thus not increasing or descreasing.
The layer of the atmosphere between the stratosphere and the thermosphere and in which temperature decreases as altitude increases?
The layer of atmosphere is mesosphere. It is located after stratosphere.
How does permittivity of air change with altitude?
decreases with increasing altitude. as altitude increases so does the distance between the air molecules. increasing distance between air molecules leads to increased resistance to flow.
Where does the temperature stay constant with increasing altitude?
Isothermal layer
Is the stratosphere?
The stratosphere is the layer above the troposphere (where we live). The ozone layer is found in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere is the lowest layer where temperature increases with increasing altitude.
When does temperature occur?
A layer in the atmosphere in which temperature increases with altitude.
How the atmosphere vary with altitude?
Temperature decreases with increasing altitude, Also air concentration decreases with altitude.
Which layer contain weather?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains weather is the troposphere. It is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where temperature decreases with increasing altitude and where most weather phenomena occur, including clouds, precipitation, and wind.
In which layer does temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
The troposphere is the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere. How does temperature change with altitude in the troposphere?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
The rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude is known as?
Lapse rate
What forces the temperature to increase with the altitude in the troposphere?
If the temperature increases with increasing altitude in the troposphere, then a temperature inversion exists. All the weather that we are primarily interested in, occurs in the troposphere.
What two significant atmospheric charactaristics change with increasing altitude?
pressure and temperature.
Does air temperature increase more rapidly than dew point temperature with increasing altitude?
yes
What is the temperature of the ozone layer?
The ozone layer is located in the lower stratosphere. The stratosphere has increasing temperature with increasing altitude. Today (2009mar09), the bottom of the stratosphere is about -45°C at the North pole, and about -65°C over the USA. Likewise for the South pole, it is about -45°C and over Australia it is about -75°C.
