Question

does temperature always increase or decrease at the same rate? if not what might influence the warming or cooling rate

Answer 1

No

Step-by-step explanation:

• Rate of temperature increase and decrease changes with the height from the mean sea level. When looking at the geotherm a gradient the increase of temperature with respect to depth is 25-30 degrees.

• The temperature increase with every 100m of depth and similarly the temperature decrease with the lapse rate of 6.5 degrees per kilometer, with every increase in height.

• At the height of 35 km, the temperature increases with height at the rate of 5 degrees per kilometer, then again at the mesosphere about 80 kilometers in altitude the temperature usually decreases as the height and can be as -95 degrees.
