If Muheza Tanga is found at 250 meters above sea level, what will be its temperature if the temperature of Moshi town is 20 degrees Celsius at 4500 meters above sea level?

To calculate the temperature of Muheza Tanga at 250 meters above sea level, we can use the lapse rate formula, which states that the temperature decreases by approximately 6.5 degrees Celsius for every 1000 meters increase in altitude.

First, we need to calculate the temperature difference between Moshi town at 4500 meters above sea level and sea level:
Temperature difference = 6.5 degrees Celsius/1000 meters * 4.5 (4500 meters) = 29.25 degrees Celsius

Next, we subtract the temperature difference from the temperature of Moshi town to find the estimated temperature of Muheza Tanga at 250 meters above sea level:
Temperature of Muheza Tanga = 20 degrees Celsius - 29.25 degrees Celsius = -9.25 degrees Celsius

Therefore, the estimated temperature of Muheza Tanga at 250 meters above sea level would be approximately -9.25 degrees Celsius.

The relationship between altitude and temperature is inversely proportional. As altitude increases, temperature decreases. The rate of decrease is known as the lapse rate, which is typically around 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters.

To calculate the temperature at Muheza Tanga, we can use the following formula:

```
T2 = T1 + (lapse rate - (altitude difference))
```

where:

- T1 is the temperature at the known altitude (Moshi town)
- T2 is the temperature at the unknown altitude (Muheza Tanga)
- lapse rate is the rate of temperature decrease per unit of altitude
- altitude difference is the difference in altitude between the two locations

Plugging in the values we have:

```
T2 = 20 + (6.5 - (4500 - 250))
T2 = 20 + (6.5 - 4250)
T2 = 20 + 27625
T2 = 276.25 degrees Celsius
```

Therefore, the temperature at Muheza Tanga is 276.25 degrees Celsius.
