To answer the question regarding the temperature variations with altitude in different regions of the atmosphere, we can break it down step by step: ### Step 1: Understanding the Atmosphere's Structure The atmosphere is divided into several layers, each characterized by different temperature trends as altitude increases. The main layers are the troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, and thermosphere. ### Step 2: Analyze the Troposphere - **Height**: The troposphere extends from sea level up to about 11 kilometers. - **Temperature Trend**: In the troposphere, as altitude increases, the temperature **decreases**. This is because the Earth's surface absorbs heat from the sun and radiates it back, warming the air closest to the surface. ...
