Answer Details
The decrease in temperature at the rate of 6.5°C for every 1,000m of ascent is termed "normal lapse rate." As altitude increases, air pressure and density decrease, leading to a decrease in temperature. The normal lapse rate is a reliable guide to predict the temperature changes with height, which is useful for understanding weather patterns and climate change.
