The height of the mountain is 5 km, and the temperature at its foot is + 25 ° C.

The height of the mountain is 5 km, and the temperature at its foot is + 25 ° C. What is the temperature at the top of the mountain?

1) Find out how much the air temperature will drop when you rise to a given height.

To do this, multiply it by the decrease in temperature per kilometer:

5 km * 6 ° С / km = 30 ° С

2) Find out what the air temperature is at the top of the mountain.

To do this, subtract the temperature decrease from the temperature at the foot:

+ 25 ° С – 30 ° С = -5 ° С

Answer: -5 ° С
