<em>air moves because of two reasons..
1 temperature difference
2 pressure difference
<u>1 temperature difference :
</u> when there is temperature difference in the atmosphere ,,hot air rises and cold air takes its place ... so movement of air occurs..
<u>2 pressure difference:
</u><u /> also when there is pressure difference in atmosphere ,, air moves away from the area where there is more pressure..
<u>if there is no temperature and pressure difference then air will not move...
</u>

1) heat from radioactive decay in the core of the Earth heard the mantle.
2) Plates move averagely only a few cm a year, this has been happening ever since the planet formed and cooled to give a thick crust so this movement has added up over many years to move plates far from where they started.
3) because the mantle is heated and is able to flow slowly, convection currents are set up which cause the plates on the crust to move.
Answer: Adiabatic temperature gradient is the rate of change in temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions.
Explanation:
The rate of change of temperature due to pressure under adiabatic conditions is referred to as adiabatic temperature gradient.
In practice, since in the sea the pressure changes can be considered proportional to depth changes, the adiabatic temperature gradient is usually given as rate of change per unit depth, instead of per unit pressure and for practical purposes and calculations, the unit of depth is often chosen as 1000 m.
The natural and non-natural heat transfer influence the process of adiabatic temperature gradient.
