Explain the concept of temperature inversion and its geographical and atmospheric implications
Introduction
All the geographical phenomena were intricately related and influence-can other in myriad ways. Temperature Inversion is a condition when temperature rise with increase in altitude. This is opposite to the normal condition when temperature decrease with increase in altitude.

Main Body
Temperature inversion cause a table atmospheric condition. Is favour formation of anti-cyclonic condition. Is stop or dislocation formation by stormy wind patterns. Implication for local wind pattern: It makes the local wind pattern very stable. Is cause formation of inverse fog and must when humidity is higher. In hills, it leads to air drainage with higher concentration of water vapour in the valley, protecting west from frost. It makes valley s colder than hill side. People prefer to live on hills rather than valley.
It leads to trapping of air pollution as the atmosphere gets stable and there is no wind to dissipate it. It thus lead to formation of pollution dome over city. (By Delhi in winter.) It is also lead to formation of smog. In it influence ban and temperature inversion of two and air pollution. With sunlight, the smog may get converted into photochemical smog. According to IRFC ARG, we will see more extreme weather condition due to climate change.
Conclusion
There is need of the hour is to bring over overt it by mitigating global warming.
