Which aerodynamic consequence results when a soaring bird experiences thermal inversion layering with increasing altitude?

💡 Explanation

When a soaring bird enters a thermal inversion, sinking air negates lift because the thermal column dissipates upwards, increasing the energy for height. Therefore additional energy expenditure arises, rather than increased stability, lift reduction, or suction inefficiency, all of which require different thermal atmospheric behaviors.
