Question

"Water vapour in the atmosphere condenses to form clouds". From this statement, what can be concluded?

• A. The temperature decreases as we go higher.
• B. The temperature increases as we go higher.
• C. Pressure increases as we go higher.
• D. Pressure decreases as we go higher.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The temperature decreases as we go higher.

Change of water vapour to water (condensation) takes place at a lower temperature. Since clouds are formed high up in the air, we can conclude that temperature decreases as we go higher in the atmosphere.
