Question

What is the effect of altitude on temperature? 

  1. The colder temperature will be at higher altitude places. 
  2. The higher altitude place will have warmer temperatures. 
  3. Temperature continues to be the same all through the atmosphere.  
  4. All of these 

hintHint:

Higher the altitude colder the temperature.

The correct answer is: The colder temperature will be at higher altitude places. 


    • Lower altitude has warmer temperature.
    • Higher altitude has colder temperature.
    • So, the correct option is a.

    • Air at higher altitude is under less pressure than air at lower altitude because there is less weight of air above it.
    • So it expands and cools.

    What will happen if human impact of greenhouse gas is reduced? Changes in Earth's orbit, solar output, and other factors affect changes in the climate. Suppose if we removed the human impacts of greenhouse gas discharges what could be the climate doing currently on its own? 

    • If all the factors were removed then Earth will cool down drastically.
    • If human impacts of green house gases are increased and all other factors are workin then Earth will warm up.
