Answer:

24 degrees Fahrenheit.

Explanation:

The moist adiabatic rate is related to the variation of the temperature as the altitude increases.

A typical value is around 9ºF/km. This means that for each km, the temperature decreases 9ºF.

In this problem, we have that:

The temperature at the ground level is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

So 4km above sea level it is going to be 60 - 4*9 = 24 degrees Fahrenheit.

Why is NYC so susceptible (easily harmed) to hurricanes?
mina [271]
The high buildings in NYC are highly vulnerable to hurricanes. High winds can arrive before the hurricane actually hits, and the higher you go, the earlier you feel those winds. Since the city is so big, it is also harder for so many people to evacuate from the hurricanes. NYC had 578 miles of coastline which is a lot of water around for the hurricanes to travel through.
