Question

Which one of the following statements about change in temperature with elevation is correct?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Adiabatic cooling of air due to increasing elevattion leads to a drop of temperature by -10°c for every 1,000 min elevation, irrespective of water vapor or cloud formation Adiabatic cooling of air due to increasing elevation leads to a drop of temperature by -1o•c for every 1,000 minelevation, as long as no water vapor or cloud formation occurs Correct A vertical ascent of 1km from the Earth surface produces a temperature change roughly equivalent to that brought about by an increase in latitude of 1,000 km A vertical ascent of 600 m from the Earth surface produces a temperature change roughly equivalent to thatbrought about by an increase in latitude of 100 km

Explanation

which one of the following statements about operates via Adiabatic cooling of air due to increasing elevation leads t represents established outcome. functional assays validates option B. Other options propose substrate or regulatory direction, inconsistent with published kinetics and mutant phenotypes.
