it is 35°C at sea level. The environmental lapse rate between sea level and 2100 meters is 6.85 °C/1000m. The environmental lapse
rate between 2100 meters and 3500 meters is 11"C/1000m. The normal lapse rate exists above 3500 meters. What will the
temperature be at 9000 meters? Calculate your answer to one decimal point.

Based on the various lapse rates, the temperature at 9,000 meters will be 30.53°C.

Temperature at 2,100 meters

= Sea level temperature - Lapse rate x Difference in Depth from last lapse rate

= 35 - (6.85 / 1,000 x 2,100)

= 20.62°C

Temperature at 3,500 meters

= 20.62 - (11 / 1,000 x (3,500 - 2,100))

= 20.62 - (11/1,000 x 1,400)

= 5.22° C

Temperature at 9,000 meters

= Temperature at 3,500 meters - Normal lapse rate x Difference from last lapse rate

Normal lapse rate = 6.5 ° C / 1,000 meters

= 5.22 - ( 6.5 / 1,000 x (9,000 - 3,500))

= 5.22 - ( 6.5 x 5.5)

= -30.53° C

In conclusion, the temperature at 9,000m will be -30.53°C.
