Answer: 9.25°C

Explanation:

As you move higher from sea level, the temperature drops at an average rate. This average rate at which the temperature drops is known as the lapse rate.

This rate is 6.5 °C per 1000 m.

Temperature at 5,500m has dropped by;

= 6.5 * \frac{5,500}{1,000}

= 35.75 °C

Temperature has decreased by 35.75 °C.

Temperature at 5,500m above sea level is;

= 45 - 35.75

= 9.25°C

The other ones don't make sense, radiant energy is electromagnetic and gravitational energy. You can't tell how many planets are in its solar system from only this information. The number of galaxies is also impossible to tell. The only other one that could perhaps make sense is the distance to the center of its galaxy. But, this again is disproved as one star can't tell you the position of the center.

Which of the following is true about coastal breezes?
9966 [12]

Answer:

They can blow from one direction in the morning, and from the opposite direction in the evening, and they are caused from differences in temperature of the land and the ocean.

Explanation:

The coastal breezes are breezes that occur near the coastlines. The general rule for the direction of the wind implies here as well as in any other place in the world, the wind blows from an area with higher air pressure toward an area with lower air pressure. When it comes to the coastal regions, because they have two contrasting landscapes, the wind changes direction during the day.

The land and the water have different properties, with the land heating up much faster and cooling off much faster, while the water heats and cools off slowly. This leads to larger oscillations in the temperature on land and with it larger oscillations in air pressure, while the temperature oscillations in the water are small and with it, the air pressure has much lower oscillation. When the land heats up, the wind blows from the ocean toward land because the air pressure is higher above the water, but when the land is cooler, the wind blows from the land toward the ocean because the air pressure is higher above the land.
