70 Atmospheric temperature increasing at the higher altitudes is called
A Inversion
B Radiation
C Conduction
D Convection

Answer: Option [A]

Atmospheric temperature increasing at the higher altitudes is called Inversion. The reversal of the normal behaviour of temperature in the troposphere in which a layer of cool air at the surface is overlain by a layer of warmer air is known as temperature inversion. Inversions play an important role in determining cloud forms, precipitation, and visibility.
