Question: Normal Lapse rate of temperature in troposphere is-
Options:
5.5°C/1000 meter
6.5°C/1000 meter
10°C/1000 meter
3°C/1000 meter
The correct answer is 6.5°C/1000 meter.
-Normal Lapse rate is the rate of decrease in temperature with height.
-The normal Lapse rate of temperature in the troposphere is 6.5°C per 1,000 m on an average.
-The temperature of the troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.
-Normal Lapse rate is the rate of decrease in temperature with height.
-The normal Lapse rate of temperature in the troposphere is 6.5°C per 1,000 m on an average.
-The temperature of the troposphere generally decreases as altitude increases.

-0-11,000 m: Lapse Rate 6.5°C/km, Layer of Atmosphere: Troposphere
-11,000-20,000 m: Lapse Rate 0.0°C/km, Layer of Atmosphere: Upper-boundary of the tropopause
-20,000-32,000 m: Lapse Rate -1.0°C/km, Layer of Atmosphere: Stratosphere
-32,000-47,000 m: Lapse Rate -2.8°C/km, Layer of Atmosphere: Upper Stratosphere
