The table here provides the temperature at mount rainer in Washington state at different elevations of September 3 2014 a temperature was recorded on the same mountain at the same time the temperature was 8c at what elevation was the temperature most likely taken

2000 m

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Elevation (m) >>>>>> Temperature (°C)

4000 >>>>>>>>>>>>> –8

3500 >>>>>>>>>>>>> –4

3000 >>>>>>>>>>>>> 0

2500 >>>>>>>>>>>>> 4

Temperature = 8 °C

Elevation =?

A careful observation of the table shows that:

Elevation is reducing with 500 m, while the temperature is increasing with 4 °C.

Next, we shall determine number of increase in the temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Last Temperature from the table = 4 °C

New temperature = 8 °C

Difference = 8 °C – 4 °C

Number of Increase = difference / 4 °C

Number of Increase = 4 °C / 4 °C

Number of Increase = 1

Thus, the temperature increased just ones from 4 °C to 8 °C

Since the temperature increased just ones from 4 °C to 8 °C, it means the elevation will decrease just ones i.e

Last elevation from the table = 2500 m

Decrease factor = 500 m

New elevation = 2500 – 500

New elevation = 2000 m

Thus, the temperature (i.e 8 °C) was recorded at an elevation of 2000 m

the answer is b because, investigating whether another species of moth also drinks tears might be interesting, but it would not directly explain why this species of moth does.

to explain why this species of moth drinks tears, the scientist could ask: "what nutrients that moths need are in elephant tears? "

the scientist could experiment with moth repellent or oter ways to keep the moths away, but that would not answer his original question.
