Explanation / Answer
Answer for first question no 1
Answer is True.
The dry adiabatic lapse rate is constant.
Dry adiabatic near constant at 9.8 C/Km.
Every 100 meters Dry adiabatic lapse rates of temperature is 1 degree Celsius or
Every 1000 feet a Dry adiabatic lapse rate of temperature is 5 and 1/2 degree Fahrenheit.
