Question

If it is raining, the air in the clouds is doing which of the following? (a) descending and cooling; (b) descending and heating; (C) rising and cooling: (d) rising and heating. In rising air the wet adiabatic lapse rate is less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate because (a) cloud particles have a cooling effect on air temperature; (b) compression of air takes place more rapidly rising air; (c) latent heat is released by the condensing water vapor; (d) latent heat is stored by the condensing water vapor. T or F. The boundary Line between the troposphere and the stratosphere is known as the stratosphere T or F. Dust particles in the atmosphere serve no useful function T or F. In the atmosphere, temperature decreases wrath an increase in altitude T or F. Atmospheric pressure decreases upward at an increasing rate T or F. The study of short-term atmospheric conditions for a given time and a given place is called climate T or F. From a global perspective, the warmest temperatures are found at the equator T or F. In general, warm ocean currents parallel the east coasts of the world's continents
