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

What is the relationship between elevation and temperature?
As a general rule in the atmosphere, the higher the elevation the lower the temperature. However, certain atmospheric conditions may produce an 'inversion', where temperature increases with elevation.
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
Temperature vs elevation?
As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.
When water temperature increases what will the dissolved oxygen content do?
The amount of dissolved oxygen decreases when water temperature increases. Warm water is unable to dissolve as much oxygen gas.
When elevation increases oxygen content?
The following changes are average changes, which means there might be exceptions more or less as we rise upward. But in general as elevation increases, on average: Temperature decreases Atm pressure decreases Wind velocity increases Gamma radiation increases Overhead turns black More and more stars are seen Shape of the planet as a sphere becomes obvious
As elevation in the mesosphere increases atmospheric temperature does what?
Decrease
What happens to temperature and available moisture as elevation increases?
In general they both decrease.
When latitude increases does temperature decrease?
The close the latitude is to 0, the hotter it is.
How does the air's capacity to hold water change as elevation increase?
As elevation increases, temperature decreases approximately at the rate of 12.5 degrees c every 1km upwards. As air temperature decreases, its capacity to hold water is less. Therfore as elevation increases, its water capacity will decrease.
What is relationship between temperature and elevation?
Temperature decreases as the elevation increases.

The solubility of gases do what as temperature increases?
The solubility of gases decrease as temperature increases.
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.
In which layers does the temperature decrease as altitude increases?
Temperature will decrease as the altitude increases at all levels due to the thinning of atmospheric gasses.
When the fluids temperature increases does the density decrease decrease?
Yes!
When the pressure of a gas increases at constant temperature its volume?
Temperature increases as pressure increases.
Does air pressure of a tire decrease as the temperature of the tire increases?
No. The pressure increases with temperature increase
