Hiking up a mountain, you notice that the air temperature drop 10°C for every 1,00 meters in elevation. The temperature was at 68°F at 2,000 meters in altitude. If the hiker is now at altitude of 5,000 meters, what is the current temperature? Show your work.

you're given a *rate* of decrease and then the *extent* of the "cause". SO the rate is 10C/1000m (right? You understand why this is a rate? You go 1000m up, the temperature drops 10C. And it happens continually, bit by bit, as you climb. That's a rate!

But, you don't stop with climbing just 1000m: you climb 1000m twice *more*. So, how much has the temperature dropped in all, by the end?

You really should be able to put this together as 10C/1000m  x  3000m  = result. It will be in units of (degrees) C.

Now, finish the problem and get down the mountain, before you freeze (also, winds kick up more on mountains -- a double whammy).

Step-by-step explanation:

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
