No, if you are referring to height above sea level, then it is the opposite way around. Approximately, for every 100m above sea level you go, the temperature drops around 0.7-1 degree celcius.

∙ 12y agoPotential temperature by definition is the temperature a parcel of air would have if it were brought down from its given height (pressure level) to the pressure level of 1000mb dry adiabatically. Now the reason why potential temperature increases with height is because of the fact the hypthotical parcel is "brought down" at the dry adiabatic lapse rate which is 9.8 degrees C / km.

IN a nutshell,Kinetic energy increases,then the temperature increases.

In a temperature inversion air temperature does what?
increases with height
When altitude increases temperature does what?
Temperature decreases as altitude increases.
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.
Does humidity increase when temperature increases?
No, it only increases when the water level increases; it is not a matter of temperature.
What happens to the temperature as altitude increases in a stratosphere?
Temperature reaches its coldest at the tropopause, which is the boundary between the troposphere below and the stratosphere above. In the stratosphere, the temperature increases with height due to absorption of radiation by ozone.Temperature changes when altitude is in the stratosphere because of one things. It already rises when you climb up in the stratosphere.
In a temperature inversion air temperature does what?
increases with height
What increases with its height above the ground?
Potential Energy
How does height affect the amount of potential energy of an object?
.potential energy equalls mgh, where m is mass of object, g is gravity, h is height of the object placed from the ground level. . When height increases potential energy also increases..
When does potential energy increase?
If using the formula U=mgh, then potential energy increases when the height above the ground increases.
When you throw something what kind of energy increases as its height increases?
Gravitational potential energy.
What is the effect of height on gravitational potential energy?
Height 'h', increases the gravitational potential energy E = - mGm/h.
When you throw a ball into the air what kind of energy increases as its height increases?
When you throw up an orange up into the air what kind of energy increases as it's height increase
What happens to potential energy as you increase the height or position of an object?
It increases.
What type of energy increases with its height?
gravitational potential energy
In which layers of the atmosphere does the temperature increase with increasing height?
The stratosphere is where the temperature increases with height. This is due to absorption of UV radiation by atmospheric ozone.
Is barrier potential temperature dependent?
Yes, it varies inversely, i.e. as temperature increases the barrier potential decreases. It decreases by 2mV for degree Celsius rise of temperature.
How does height affect the PE?
Energy can neither be created nor be destroyed. When we lift certain thing to a certain height we have to done some work on it . This energy is stored in the form of potential energy. Potential energy = mass * acceleration due to gravity * Height of object from ground. As height increases PE increases.
