The temperature gets colder as you go upward in the troposphere. Light from the Sun heats the ground. The warm ground gives off the heat as infrared "light". The IR energy heats the troposphere. The lowest part of the troposphere is the warmest because it is closest to the ground, where the heat is coming from.

What happens to temperature as you go up in elevation?

It gets colder by 1 degree Celsius for about every 160 meters you go up.


What is the relationship between elevations and climate?

The relationship between elevation and climate has to do with temperature. The higher up the elevation is the colder the temperature is.


What happens to temperature as elevation increase?

As elevation increases temperature decreases reaching the coldest altitude (around -90 degrees C). Once you ascend into the Thermosphere (56 miles high) The temperatures will be extremely high, ranging from 200 degrees C up to 500 Degrees C as you climb in elevation.


What happens to the density of the atmosphere as you go up higher?

What happens as you go up a mountain?

As you go up a mountain, the air pressure decreases, which can lead to lower oxygen levels. This may cause difficulties breathing and can lead to altitude sickness. The temperature also tends to drop as you ascend.


What happens to temperature as you go higher in the troposphere?

the temp goes down, the winds go up, and the pressure goes up...


What happens to air temperature as you go up mountain?

It decreases because as you move up in altitude the air becomes thinner making it colder.

What Happens to a climate as one goes up in elevation?

As one goes up in elevation, the temperature tends to decrease due to the lapse rate, causing climatic conditions to become cooler. Also, air pressure decreases, affecting atmospheric stability and precipitation patterns. This can result in higher humidity levels, increased cloud formation, and changes in vegetation types due to the differences in temperature and precipitation.


What is the elevation formula for climate going up a mountain. for every feet you go up a mountain the temperature goes down degrees?

The environmental lapse rate is used to calculate temperature changes as elevation increases. On average, the lapse rate is around 3.5°F per 1,000 feet gained in elevation. As you ascend a mountain, the temperature typically drops due to a decrease in air pressure, leading to the air expanding and cooling.


What is the boiling temperature of water in the US customary system?

At sea level the normal boiling temperature is 212 °F. As you go up in elevation, the boiling temperature drops.
