Recall that the normal lapse rate of temperature change with altitude is 6.4 C°/1000 m, or 3.5 F°/1000 ft. Calculate the difference in elevation between La Paz and Concepción and calculate what the difference in their mean (average) annual temperatures should be, based on cooling at the normal lapse rate. Is the actual difference between the mean annual temperatures for these two cities higher, lower, or the same as that produced by calculating average normal lapse rate conditions?
