1. temperature inversion, condition in which the temperature of the atmosphere increases with altitude in contrast to the normal decrease with altitude. When temperature inversion occurs, cold air underlies warmer air at higher altitudes.

2.In meteorology, temperature inversions occur in the layer of the atmosphere closest to the Earth's surface, known as the troposphere. Temperature inversions in the atmosphere occur when a cool layer of air close to the Earth's surface is covered by a warm layer above.

3. Temperatures get warmer as go aloft. This happens a lot after rain with radiational cooling, or a frontal passage.

Answer from: eggemotions

(1) Inversion of temperature in the atmosphere refers to the changing of the temperature with respect to the elevation. The atmosphere of the earth is divided into-

(a) Troposphere- It covers a distance from the ground surface to a height of about 10-15 km. Here, the temperature decreases with altitude.

(b) Stratosphere- It extends from the height of about 15 km to 50 km and here the temperature increases with the increasing altitude. The ozone is layer is present here.

(c) Mesosphere- It covers a vertical height from about 50 km to 80 km and here the temperature again decreases with height.

(d) Thermosphere- It covers a height from about 80 km to 500 km and the temperature rises with altitude.

(e) Exosphere- It represents the outer part of the atmosphere extending up to space and the region experiences increasing temperature.

(2) This temperature inversion takes place in all the layers of the atmosphere. There is a gradual increase and decrease in temperature from the troposphere to the thermosphere layer.

(3) When the air near the surface of the earth gets heated up, it becomes hot, less dense and the air rises up. As the air rises up, the air cools increasing its density forming a convective cell and clouds are generated. This air when accumulates at the top forms a region that separates from the overlying layer. This causes the temperature inversion in the layers of the atmosphere.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning. (2 points)

Plz fast biotechnology is a growing field of applied biology. many crops such as corn have been engineered to be resistant to herbicides. therefore farmers can spray these chemicals to kill weeds growing near the crop without worries of killing the crop itself how does this type of biotechnology work? a. by changing the genetic make up of the crops. b. by causing the crops to kill the weeds. c. by changing the type of crops used. d. by changing the location of the crops.

Astudent completed a lab report. which correctly describes the difference between the “question” and “hypothesis” sections of her report? “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states the result of her experiment. “question” states what she is asking, and “hypothesis” states what she thinks the answer to that question is in “if . . then . . because” format. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and "hypothesis" states the procedures and methods of data collection. “question” describes what she is trying to find out, and “hypothesis” states any additional information or prior knowledge about the question.
