Questions and Answers

Why does rising or sinking saturated air change its temperature at a rate less than the dry adiabatic rate?

  • Higher concentration of ozone molecules
  • Initiation of compressional warming (correct)
  • Presence of larger air masses in the atmosphere
  • Greater altitude above sea level
  • Why does the air no longer cool at the dry adiabatic rate during condensation?

  • Presence of liquid droplets in the air
  • Release of latent heat during condensation (correct)
  • Reduction in the rate of expansion
  • Increase in the amount of water vapor carried by the air
