This is called convection. Cold air
rushes in to take the place OF the
rising warm air and it in turn is
warmed and the process goes on as
long as the earth is receiving more
heat than it is radiating. The air
becomes warmest near the ground
decreases in temperature at nearly
a uniform rate with increased dis
lance above the Garth up to 1000
feet or more. =
AS soon as the sun sets the earth
cools rapidly by radiation and its
temperature falls. The air in con-
tact with the ground looses heat
to the ground by conduction. The
air near the ground becomes increas-
ingly colder and its density greater
This increased density keeps the cold
air in contact with the earth. Con-
scquently on clear, calm nights there
is layer of relatively thin cold air
near the earth and the temperature
increases with an increase in ell
ovation up to an altitude of between
100 and 800 feet.
1t is this layer of warm air that
makes orchard heating possible. In
the cold air below this layer is
where the heat is applied and the
temperature of it alone is raised. Be-
cause of the varying distance of this
warm layer above the earth no de-
fnate temperature rise can be at.
tr:buted to any heating device. On
one night the layer may be compar-
atively low and a rise of 10 de-
grees or more may be easily attained
On another night the layer may be
considerable higher and rise of {
or degrees may be difficult to Sc
cure.
