The Earth’s atmosphere gets _____ as altitude increases, so air temperatures _____ with elevation. A. thicker, increase B. thinner, increase C. thicker, decrease D. thinner, decrease E. none of the above
its D because the air gets thinner which supports the fact that the atmosphere is getting thinner with altitude and when the atmosphere is thinner it traps less heat therefore the temperature decreases. ex: when climbing a mountain, when high altitudes are reached, the temperature plummets. hope this helped ^u^
