Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Temperatures decrease with increasing altitude at an average of 6.4 C per km (3.5 F per 1000 ft). This is known as the normal lapse rate. However, the actual lapse rate, known as the environmental lapse rate, may vary considerable from this due to local weather conditions. This occurs int he troposphere.
