A1 degree C for every 165 m
B1 degree C for every 500 m
C5 degrees C for every 165 m
D1 degree C for every 32 m
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 1 degree C for every 165 m
1. Air cools steadily as you climb through the troposphere.
2. The rate is 1 degree Celsius for every 165 m of height.
3. This steady fall shapes weather in the layer.
