Solution

The phenomena of inversion of temperature takes place in Mountains.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of temperature inversion, where temperature increases with altitude instead of decreasing, usually takes place in mountainous areas, especially in valleys. This happens during cold, clear nights when the valley air cools rapidly and becomes colder than the air above, leading to a reversal of the normal temperature gradient. This phenomenon is temporary and typically lasts until the morning sun warms the valley again.
