Question: The air temperature in the troposphere decreases steadily as distance increases from the warm Earth's surface (think of the difference in temperature between the San Gabriel Valley and the higher elevations of the San Gabriel Mountains). Earth's surface warms as it absorbs radiation that has not been scattered, reflected, or absorbed elsewhere in the atmosphere. The surface then emits energy as heat. This radiation is then absorbed by water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases such as methane and nitrous oxide in the troposphere, creating a situation that is known as the? Need Assignment Help?
