A) almost 0
B) averages around 4
C) a bit above 15
D) exactly 30
E) almost 45

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dry adiabatic lapse rate is approximately 10 degrees Celsius per 1,000 meters while the saturated adiabatic lapse rate is approximately 6 degrees Celsius per 1,000 meters. Thus, the difference between the two rates is approximately 4 degrees Celsius per 1,000 meters.
