Increases in Elevation Are Accompanied by Decreases in Temperature

Multiple Choice

Increases in elevation are accompanied by decreases in temperature.The rate at which temperature drops as elevation increases is referred to as the dry adiabatic lapse rate,which gives a drop in temperature of rising unsaturated air of about 10°C for every 1000 meters.If the temperature is 25°C at the base of the mountain,what temperatures do organisms experience 3000 meters upslope?

A) 5°C
B) 0°C
C) -5°C
D) -15°C
