Best Answer

As the altitude or elevation increases the temperature decreases. The temperature drops about 6.5 degree Celsius for every I km increase.

Why is it when it's raining the water in the swimming pool is warm but when it is sunny the water in the swimming pool is cold?

It's all about how your body reacts to relative temperatures. The truth is that the pool temperature is not likely to be the culprit. It's more about how your body perceives the difference between the outside temperature vs the pool temperature. The transition from standing in the hot sun to getting into your pool makes the water feel colder than it might feel than if you are standing in cold rain before entering the pool.


Two types of variable in science?

The two broad types of variables in scientific experimentation are dependent and independent variables. Independent variables are variables (ideally only one or very few) that the experimenter manipulates in the experiment. For example, if you were testing the effect of temperature on plant growth rates, you would likely have similar plants in similar conditions but in areas with different temperatures. The experimenter is changing the temperature between the groups of plants, so the temperature would be the independent variable. The dependent variables are the effects the independent variable has on the experimental subjects. They are changes not being directly controlled or manipulated by the experimenter. In the above temperature vs. plant growth example, the rate of plant growth would be the dependent variable; it depends on the temperature.


What is the temperature of a slurpee?

The time that it takes for a Slurpee to melt depends on a number of factors, including:The amount of Slurpee there is.The surface area (i.e. the dimensions of the cup that the Slurpee is contained within).The consistency of the Slurpee (e.g. icy vs. frothy vs. syrupy).The ambient air temperature.The flavour of the Slurpee.Some of these factors have a greater effect on the melting time than others. The exact calculation is difficult, especially when the above parameters have not been determined.

What is the slope of a velocity vs temperature graph?

The slope of a temperature vs time graph shows the rate of change of temperature. The slope will be positive if the temperature is increasing with time and negative if it is decreasing.

In this activity you are investigating both the effect of germination versus non germination and warm temperature versus cold temperature on respiration rate identify two hypotheses being tested?

The hypotheses being tested are the effect on the respiration rate. In this case the two are warm temperature vs. cold temperature & germinating vs. non germinating. (temperature & germination)
