The rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude is:

The rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude is:

  • (A) Temperature slope
  • (B) Lapse rate
  • (C) Sounding
  • (D) Thermocline
The level of heat loss with height is known as lapse rate. Thus, we observe that temperature drops on an average by approximately 6. 5°C less for every 1000 meters you go up in altitude. However, the above rate may not be constant and may be influenced by the factors that include humidity, the prevailing atmospheric conditions, and geographical location.
