Chapter 9, Problem 15Q
To determine

The depth beneath the Earth’s crust where boiling of water can take place if the temperature beneath the Earth’s surface increases at a rate of 20° C per km (assuming the surface temperature to be 20° C and neglect pressure effect).

The surface temperature is 21⁰C, and the lapse rate is -5.2⁰C/1000 meters.  A parcel of air with a temperature of 17⁰C has been liftd to an altitude of 765 m by a mountain ridge.  Is the parcel stable or unstable?
The average temperature of the Earth's surface is estimated to be around 15°C (59°F). However, due to climate change, this temperature is increasing by approximately 0.2°C (0.36°F) every decade. Assuming this trend continues, what will be the average temperature of the Earth's surface in 50 years?
A student has basalt at 23 degrees Celsius and wants to know what the new temperature would be if they added 5.00Kj of heat to 115.0g of basalt?
