What should be the height of a mountain for a glacier to form on its top, if the highest air temperature at its foot is +10 degrees?

To solve this problem, it is first necessary to indicate that the formation of a glacier occurs at a temperature of 0 degrees Celsius and below.

The constant temperature change is 6 degrees for every 1000 meters of altitude.

In this case, in order to determine the height of the mountain, it is necessary to divide the temperature difference by a constant value of the temperature change with height.

In this case, we get:

10/6 = 1 2/3 km.

When converting this height into meters, we get:

1 2/3 * 1000 = 1666 2/3 meters.
