Question

Using the environmental lapse rate of 3.5°F/1000 feet, if you have a surface temperature of 77,5 F at sea level and

go hiking in the nearby mountains to an elevation of 3000 feet, what will the temperature be at that elevation?
60°F
88°F
O 73.5°F
O 67°F
O 0°F

Answer 1

60°F temperature will be at that elevation

Step-by-step explanation:

You will lose a normal 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for each 1000 feet of rise you gain (or about 1.2 degrees Celsius per ever 100 meters. A few people utilize 9.8 degrees Celcius per 1000 meters).

In the event that you begin at 1000 feet, and move to 6000 feet, that is a 5000 foot distinction (6000 – 1000 = 5000).

Its an obvious fact that the temperatures high up in the mountains will be lower than that in the valleys. Have you at any point set off on a warm summer climb to discover the temps.

You will lose a normal 3.5 degrees Fahrenheit for each 1000 feet
