Read the para under the title "Height and Temperature of page 27 and comment . Can you
on it
Answers
Answer:
As there is increase in elevation, there is less air above thus the pressure decreases. Air molecules spread out further (i.e. air expands) as pressure and the temperature decreases.
If the humidity is at hundred percent, , the temperature decreases more slowly with height.
Explanation:
the troposphere gets its heat from the ground, hence the temperature decreases with altitude. As Warm air rises and cool air sinks and so the troposphere is unstable. In the stratosphere, there is rise in temperature with altitude.
There is present ozone layer in stratosphere which protects the planet from the Sun's harmful UV rays .
Final Answer
Height and Temperature are related in following way.
As altitude increases, temperature decreases. The rate of decrease of temperature is 6.5 degrees c for each 1 km altitude change.
This can also be written as 3.6 °F for every 1000 ft increase in altitude.
