The change of air temperature with height is the
a. dry adiabatic rate.
b. environmental lapse rate.
c. wet adiabatic rate.
d. thermal rate.

(B) Environmental lapse rate.

Explanation:

 The change in temperature of the air with the height in atmosphere is known as the environmental lapse rate. The environmental lapse rate of the Earth is the decline in temperature with increasing atmospheric altitude. In the atmosphere, the air molecule density basically affects the pressure of the air.

The air force on the surface of the Earth, it is one of the highest at the level of the sea and decreases steadily with the given altitude. The environmental lapse rate is the highly affected by the three main factors are as follows:

radiative zone

explanation    

radiative zone is the layer of the sun which energy is transferred away from the core by radiation. although, the core is the only part of the sun that produces an appreciable amount of heat through fusion. in fact, 99% of the energy produced by the sun takes place within 24% of the sun's radius.
