question 1 / 7
when elevation increases, what happens to the temperature?
a. temperature gets colder
b. temperature gets warmer

Explanation:

In the troposphere (the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where most weather and human activity occurs), air pressure decreases with elevation. As air rises, it expands and cools at a typical rate of about 6.5°C per 1000 meters. This means higher elevation corresponds to lower temperature.

Answer:

A. Temperature gets colder
