In what regions of the atmosphere, the temperature increases with altitude and in which regions it decreases?
Answers
Atmosphere is divided into four layers based on the changes in the temperature. The four layers are
The Troposphere: First layer above the earth surface, also known as low atmosphere.
The Stratosphere: Second layer, also known as upper atmosphere
The Mesosphere: Third layer of the atmosphere
The Thermosphere: Fourth layer. of the atmosphere
The Exosphere: Outermost space of atmosphere.
The temperature decreases with altitude in the troposphere, due to the uneven heating of the earth surface.
In stratosphere, temperature increases with height since heat is absorbed by ozone layer and is released heating the atmosphere.
