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

Explain how different life would be without rainforest sources goods and services
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

<em>Rain forests provide important ecological services, including storing hundreds of billions of tons of carbon, buffering against flood and drought, stabilizing soils, influencing rainfall patterns, and providing a home to wildlife and indigenous people. Rain forests are also the source of many useful products upon which local communities depend. </em>

<em> </em>

<em>While rain forests are critically important to humanity, they are rapidly being destroyed by human activities. The biggest cause of deforestation is conversion of forest land for agriculture. In the past subsistence agriculture was the primary driver of rain forest conversion, but today industrial agriculture — especially mono-culture and livestock production — is the dominant driver of rain forest loss worldwide. Logging is the biggest cause of forest degradation and usually proceeds deforestation for agriculture.</em>

How does the loss of trees along streams affect steam ecosystems?
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

Water temperatures increase because the trees that provide cover from sunlight are cut down. All of these factors disrupt a river ecosystem because the species that live in the stream have adapted to conditions before the deforestation and may be negatively impacted by the sudden changes.
