Question: What is the normal lapse rate in the troposphere? (MPSC Mains Pepar-1, 2012)
Options:
6.5°F/1000 ft
5.4°F/1000 ft
3.6°F/1000 ft
4.0°F/1000 ft
✅Explanation:
The normal lapse rate in the troposphere (the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere) is 3.6°F per 1000 feet. This means that the temperature decreases by 3.6°F for every 1000 feet increase in altitude.
