The influence of altitude upon temperature results in surface temperatures falling more rapidly with height than the normal lapse rate value.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The normal lapse rate refers to the average rate at which temperature decreases with an increase in altitude, typically around 6.5°C per 1000 meters. If surface temperatures were to fall more rapidly with height than this rate, it would be considered an exception rather than the norm influenced by specific environmental conditions.
