As water vapor rises higher in the atmosphere, what happens to the temperature?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Temperature decreases

Direct answer: B, temperature decreases. In the troposphere, the lowest and most weather-active layer of the atmosphere, air generally becomes cooler as altitude increases. Rising moist air expands because the surrounding pressure is lower. Expansion uses energy, so the air cools. When the air cools sufficiently, it may reach saturation; water vapor then changes into tiny liquid droplets or ice particles by condensation, helping clouds form. A is wrong because rising air does not generally become warmer in the troposphere. C is wrong because temperature changes with height. D is wrong for the usual upward movement described here; the expected school-level pattern is a decrease. Memory cue: higher in the troposphere usually means cooler air.
