1. Why does the temperature decreases with increase in altitude?​

Geography
1 answer:
jarptica [38.1K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The main gases which play an important role in maintaining the temperature of the atmosphere are carbon dioxide and the water vapours. As the altitude increases, the concentration of these gases in the atmosphere decreases (due to gravity), which consequently results in decrease of temperature, which means there is not enough CO2 and water vapours to keep increasing the temperature.

Hope that helps...

rank three issues that you believe to be the most serious threats to our environment as a result of global warming, number one b
icang [17]
The most serious threat is the rising global temperatures changing climate patterns around the world. Hotter environments can mean more discomfort for people in the tropics, and certain plant and animals species that thrive in those environments may die out. This can cause disruptions in food chains and in the global food supply. A second threat is the rising sea levels due to the melting of glaciers. This can cause certain low-lying cities to become uninhabitable in the near future, if water rises to a point where they cannot be lived in. The likelihood of floods disrupting governments and economies is also increased. A third threat is ocean acidification. Because there is more CO2 in the atmosphere, more of it dissolves into seawater as well, and the increased acidity changes living conditions for marine plants and animals. This can also disrupt the ocean ecological system.
