A scientist is taking temperature measurements at different elevations on Mt. Everest. The temperature at base camp is 22℃. The scientist observes that the temperature decreases by 5℃ every 1000 meters. A student writes a mathematical model for the temperature-elevation relationship: T=(-5℃)E
where T is temperature in degrees celsius and E is elevation in meters.

This mathematical model is wrong. Your answer should explain what is wrong with the original model, and what a correct model would be.

explanation:

earth's surface is mainly heated by the absorption of infrared radiation from the sun.

evaporation occurs because molecules in liquid water are warmed ( usually by the sun) and vibrate quicker, becoming less dense and rise.

condensation occurs because molecules in water vapor are cooled and therefore vibrate more slowly thus becoming more dense and eventually fall to earth.

lines of equal barometric pressure on a weather map are called: isobars : lines of equal temp on a weather map are called: isotherms.​

radiation

explanation:

heat is transmitted by radiation
