Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

P-V diagram is the plot between pressure and volume . In adiabatic process heat transfer is zero.

so,

Area under P-V diagram for adiabatic process does not shows the heat transfer where as area under P-V diagram shows the work done by the gas.

As gas expands in adiabatic process positive work is done which leads to decrease in temperature and internal energy.
