Question

Does thermal inversion
occur in the winter or in the
summer?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Normally warm air is lighter or less dense and floats up. But in case of thermal inversion, the air above the ground is warmer than the air below it.
Thermal inversion causes polluted air to remain close to the ground instead of circulating them way thus causing inconvenience to human life.
