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. |
