2- In a saturated atmosphere air which is forced to rise will:

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • Tend to regain its former position if the ELR is less than the SALR.

  • Tend to regain its former position if the ELR is greater than the SALR.

  • Classified as stable air when the ELR is greater than the SALR.

3- The DALR is greater than the SALR because:

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • Saturated vapour pressure increases with increasing temperature.

  • Convection is more active in dry than in moist air.

  • The rate of cooling of saturated air is reduced by the release of latent heat of condensation.

  • Because of the release of latent heat of evaporation.

  • There is a state in which there is high relative humidity at low levels and a low relative humidity at high levels.

  • There is a state in which there is a low relative humidity at low levels and a high relative humidity at high levels.

Selecione uma das seguintes:

  • The tropopause is the dividing line between the stratosphere and the tropopause.

  • Stability increases as the environmental lapse rate decreases.

  • Heat is added to the environment by the evaporation of rain drops.

  • High surface temperatures and a plentiful supply of moisture are the only
    conditions required for the development of thunderstorms.
