If a parcel of unsaturated air with a temperature of 30o C rises from the surface to an altitude of
1,000 m, the unsaturated parcel temperature at this altitude would be about 10o C warmer than at
the surface. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

If the environmental lapse rate is 5o C per 1,000 m and the temperature at the earth's surface is 25o
C, then the air temperature at 2,000 m above the ground is 20o C. Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
