Answer 1

lapse rate is the rate at which atmospheric temperature decrease with increasing altitude .

with increase in height, the density of air decreases and the temperature also starts falling. For every 165 metres,   1°C fall in temperature 

Answer 2

hey mate here is your answer :-)

Question - Define lapse rate of temperature

1. It is commonly referred to as the normal, or environmental, lapse rate.

2. It is highly variable.

3. It being affected by :-
a. radiation,
b. convection
c. condensation.

4. It averages about 6.5 °C per kilometre (18.8 °F per mile) in the lower atmosphere (troposphere).


How does it affects the climate of India?

1. If the environmental lapse rate is less than the moist adiabatic lapse rate, the air is absolutely stable — rising air will cool faster than the surrounding air and lose buoyancy.

2. If the environmental lapse rate is larger than the dry adiabatic lapse rate, it has a superadiabatic lapse rate, the air is absolutely unstable — a parcel of air will gain buoyancy as it rises both below and above the lifting condensation level or convective condensation level.


so, in this way they can affect the climate of India.
