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

Water has a high heat capacity. Explain how this property of water causes the oceans moderate the temperatures of adjacent land
babunello [35]

Answer:

What is the force that drives the Wisconsin river?
grandymaker [24]
The Wisconsin River originates in the forests of the North Woods Lake District of northern Wisconsin, in Lac Vieux Desert near the border of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It flows south across the glacial plain of central Wisconsin, passing through Wausau, Stevens Point, and Wisconsin Rapids. In southern Wisconsin it encounters the terminal moraine formed during the last ice age, where it forms the Dells of the Wisconsin River. North of Madison at Portage, the river turns to the west, flowing through Wisconsin's hilly Western Upland and joining the Mississippi approximately 3 miles (4.8 km) south of Prairie du Chien.

The presence of glossopteris leaves and mesosaurus on disconnected continents are strong _______ evidence for continental drift.
almond37 [142]

Fossils.

Early in the 20th century, Alfred Wegener, primarily, established the continental drift theory. According to Wegener, continents are mobile on the surface of the Earth and were previously connected to form a single supercontinent. Scientists did not think that the continents could migrate when Wegener was alive.

In rocks that are the same age but on continents that are currently far apart, ancient fossils of the same species of extinct plants and animals can be found. Wegener claimed that the species had coexisted, but that once they died and become petrified, the lands had separated. According to his theory, the creatures couldn't have crossed the seas.

1. Glossopteris seed fern fossils were too heavy for the wind to carry them that far.

2. Mesosaurus was a reptile that could swim, although it could only do it in freshwater.

3. The terrestrial reptiles Cynognathus and Lystrosaurus were incapable of swimming.
