Answer to Question 1

Answer: The primary braking mechanism for rising parcels is their ascent into a layer of stable air. A second process that inhibits upward motions is entrainment.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The open areas between individual cumulus clouds form an invisible circulation system. The clouds mark the zone of rising air, and the cloud-free areas occur where the air sinks.
