2nd-Dermis. 3rd-Hypodermis. The difference between the Epidermis and Dermis is the Epidermis is their functions. The Epidermis strives to: Where as the Dermis's function is respiration. The thousands of tiny blood vessels or capillaries stop here, from where they supply the outer skin layer.lrighty the epidermis, the upper or outer layer of the skin, is a  tough, waterproof, protective layer. The dermis, or inner layer, is  thicker than the epidermis and gives â¦ the skin its strength and  elasticity.
If that parcel descends again to higher pressure, its temperature then INCREASES at the rate of 1Â°C per 100 meters or 5 1/2Â°F per 1,000 feet. This is known as the dry adiabatic lapse rate. MOIST (SATURATION) ADIABATIC LAPSE RATE.When a mass of air is lifted, it cools at the dry adiabatic lapse rate of 5 1/2Â°F per 1,000 feet as long as it remains unsaturated (relative humidity below 100 percent).
1 If the environmental lapse rate lies between the wet adiabatic lapse rate and the dry adiabatic lapse rate as for the rate marked 3 in the diagram, then the atmosphere is said to be neutral. 2  That designation would apply to the U.S. Standard Atmosphere of â 6.5 K/km in most cases.apse rates are usually expressed as the amount of temperature change associated with a specified amount of altitude change, such as 9.8 K per kilometre, 0.0098 K per metre or the equivalent 5.4 Â°F per 1000 feet. If the atmospheric air cools with increasing altitude, the lapse rate may be expressed as a negative number.
