Why it is cooler at the top of a mountain than at sea level?

Answer» Pressure decreases with height . Therefore if hot air rises, it suffers adiabatic expansion.
From first lawof thermodynamic `Delta Q = Delta U + DeltaW implies DeltaU = - Delta W [because DeltaQ = 0]`
This cause a decrease in internal energy and hence a fall of temperature.
