Question : 15

Total: 34

Solution:

Concept:

The average lapse rate is

6.5^\circ\text{C}

for every

1000

m rise in altitude.

Explanation:

The peak temperature is

6^\circ\text{C}

The height difference between the peak and the foot is

3000

Since temperature increases as altitude decreases, the foot will be warmer.

Total temperature increase

= 3000 \times \frac{6.5}{1000} = 19.5^\circ\text{C}

Temperature at the foot

= 6^\circ\text{C} + 19.5^\circ\text{C} = 25.5^\circ\text{C}

Answer:

25.5^\circ\text{C}
