Question

Problem 3. In meteorology, what is meant by the term "inversion"? Give an example of where in the atmosphere you might find an inversion.

Answer 1

Answer:

Inversion is found in upper layer sf troposphere.

Explanation:

• When there is a decrease temperature t every 3.5 degrees for every 100 feet. As when this normal cycle is present the air said to be unstable and constantly flows between the warm and cold areas.

• During inversion temperature decrease with the increasing altitudes. temperature inversion can occur in areas of coastal origins due to the upwelling of cold waters.

• Topography plays a role as cold and cool air flows from the mountain peaks down into valleys. This cold air then is pushed back due to the warm and lighter air mass and hence creating an invention.

• Inversions can also form in areas with significant snow cover as the ground is cold white color reflects most of the sunlight.
