Question : 32

Total: 49

Solution:

Concept:

Temperature falls with increasing altitude at the environmental lapse rate of about

6.5^\circ C

per

1000

Explanation:

The surface temperature is

40^\circ C

For every

1000

m climb, temperature decreases by

6.5^\circ C

4000

m, the total decrease is:

4 \times 6.5 = 26^\circ C

Therefore, the temperature at

4000

m is:

40^\circ C - 26^\circ C = 14^\circ C

Answer:

14^\circ C
