What does the normal lapse rate in the troposphere mean?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gradual decrease of temperature with height
The normal environmental lapse rate describes the average decrease of air temperature with increasing altitude in the troposphere. A commonly used approximate value is 6.5°C per kilometre, although actual conditions vary. Air pressure also generally falls with height, but that is not the definition of lapse rate; therefore option A is correct.
