Question 1
Given an environmental lapse rate of 5°C/1000 m and a dry adiabatic of 10°C, what would be the temperature of unsaturated surface air after it rises to height of 2000 m if its surface temperature had been 25°C?
◦ 5°C
◦ 10°C
◦ 15°C
◦ 25°C
◦ 20°C
Question 2
Given an environmental lapse rate of 5°C/1000 m and a dry adiabatic of 10°C, what would what would happen if unsaturated air that had a temperature of 25°C at the surface were forced to rise 2000 m in the air?
◦ It would have the same temperature and density as the surrounding air so it would stay at that height.
◦ It would sink back to the surface because it was more dense than the surrounding air.
◦ It would be warmer than the air around it so it would keep rising.
◦ It would be colder than the air around it so it would sink.
◦ It would keep rising because it would be less dense than the surrounding air.
