Answer:
(d) Temperature drop rate for every 1000 meters as it rises above sea level is 6 degrees.
Explanation:
The weight of the air pressing down on you from above is known as atmospheric pressure. As you gain altitude, the pressure starts to drop as the amount of air above reduces. As the pressure drops, the air molecules spread out more (air expands), and the temperature drops.
As we climb a mountain, for every 1000 meters gained the air temperature drops by 6.5 degrees Celsius. This is called as standard lapse rate. Because of the lapse rate, if the air temperature is 30 degrees Celsius at sea level, it should be roughly 10.5 degrees Celsius above 3000 meters.
