An increase in temperature as altitude is increased.
1,700-foot decrease.
The steady decrease in temperature with altitude in the troposphere is called the environmental lapse rate. This is due to the decreasing pressure and density of the air as altitude increases.
In the stratosphere, the temperature generally remains constant or may even slightly increase with increasing altitude. This is due to the absorption of ultraviolet radiation by the ozone layer, which warms the stratosphere.
As altitude increases, temperature decreases, hence why it often snows on mountains. This is due to the Greenhouse Effect, because rays from the sun reflect off the ground and travel upwards. Therefore, the sun most directly hits at sea level. Since the air is more dense at lower altitudes it more easily retains this heat.
No, it decreases.
No, it decreases.
An increase in temperature with height in an atmospheric layer is called an inversion layer. This phenomenon is opposite to the normal decrease in temperature with increasing altitude in the Earth's atmosphere.
The temperature decreases
The temperature decreases with altitude.
Decrease
It doesn't, it decreases.
As you increase in altitude in the troposphere, the temperature usually decreases. This is because the air becomes less dense with higher altitude, leading to less heat retention and a decrease in temperature.
The temperature increases like the stratosphere
No, as altitude increases in the Troposphere, the temperature generally decreases. This is because the Troposphere is the layer of the Earth's atmosphere where weather occurs, and the temperature decreases with altitude due to the decrease in air pressure and thinning of the air molecules that can store heat.
As you move from the troposphere (closest to the surface) to the stratosphere, temperature generally decreases with altitude due to the decreasing density of the air. In the stratosphere, temperature starts to increase with altitude due to the absorption of solar radiation by ozone. Overall, the trend is a decrease in temperature with altitude in the troposphere and an increase in temperature with altitude in the stratosphere.
Temperature decreases as altitude increases because there are less molecules in the atmosphere to hold in the heat.
