Question

The rate at change of temperature is called

Answer 1

The rate of change of temperature with height is called the lapse rate

Answer 2

The rate at which the change of temperature takes place is called the Temperature gradient.

Explanation-

• Temperature gradient, determines the direction and rate of the change and speed of change in temperature of places from one location to the other and it is a physical quantity.
• It is a dimensional quantity expressed in degrees on the temperature scale as per the unit length.
• In case the temperature gradient exists in solid then the flow of heat from hot to cold parts of the body gets observed.
• The temperature differs downwards as a decaying wave that is if we dig deeper, the less the history would be left.
• Then after so many feet in the ground the temperature is relentless the whole year round.
