Answer:

-13° C

Explanation:

Data provided:

The temperature of the air at sea level = 26° C

The height at which temperature is to be calculated = 6000 m = 6 Km

Now,

Using the average lapse rate

T_{s+h}=T_s-L_Ph

Here,

T_{s+h} is the temperature at the height 'h' above the mean sea level

T_s is the temperature at the mean sea level

L_P is the average lapse rate = 6.5° C per Km

h is the height above mean sea level at which the temperature is to be calculated in Km

on susbtituting the respective values in the above formula, we get

T_{s+h} = 26° C - ( 6.5 × 6 )

or

T_{s+h} = 26° C - 39° C

or

T_{s+h} = -13° C

Describe each plate boundary – transform, convergent, divergent. How do the plates move at each of these, what happens, and what
Ierofanga [76]
Transform: The plates slide past each other, one going forwards, the other going back, kind of grinding each other. A Transform Boundary is also a fault, so it causes Earthquakes mostly.
Convergent: When two plates collide with each other. They form subduction mostly and trenches. They can also create volcanoes or volcanic islands.
Divergent: When two boundaries move away from each other. They form rift valleys, mountain ranges
