Question

The drop in air temperature at a rate of 6.5°C per 1000 m increase in altitude of troposphere is known as
(a) Environmental lapse rate
(b) Environmental degradation
(c) Green house effect
(d) Global warming

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Environmetal lapse rate

Explanation:

Drop in air temprature in not global warming,

its called global "warming" not cooling

Answer 2

The drop in air temperature at a rate of 6.5°C per 1000 m increase in altitude of the troposphere is known as (a) Environmental lapse rate.

• The pace at which the temperature in the atmosphere around a cloud or ascending parcel of air changes with height is known as the environmental lapse rate.
• The global average rate is a drop of roughly 6.5°C/km, however, the rate differs significantly throughout the globe, in various airstreams, and throughout the year.
• According to Gay-Lussac's law, when mass and volume are constant, the pressure applied is proportional to the temperature. Since environmental lapse rate is the rate at which temperature decreases with altitude, it serves as a practical illustration of Gay-Lussac's law.
