On the following chart, use the sets of hypothetical data to plot the vertical temperature profile (the environmental lapse rate) of the atmosphere in two locations. Using a straightedge, connect the temperature points for Location A with a blue line, and for Location B with a green line (if you do not use colored lines, label each line clearly). After completing the temperature profiles, answer the questions on the following page.
