Question

The graph below shows how air pressure changes with altitude in the Earth's atmosphere. Examine the graph, and then answer the question that follows. In the troposphere, A. air pressure stays the same as altitude increases. B. air pressure alternately increases and decreases as altitude increases. C. air pressure increases as altitude increases. D. air pressure decreases as altitude increases

Answer 1

Answer:

air pressure decreases as altitude increases.

Answer 2

Answer:

Temperature decreases as altitude increases.

Explanation:

The temperature in the troposphere decreases by about 4° Celsius with every kilometer of altitude. Weather is primarily confined to the troposphere because most of the atmosphere's mass is in this layer. The uneven heating of the troposphere causes weather patterns.
