Question

A bubble of unsaturated air is rising through the atmosphere. When the bubble of air reaches an elevation of 1000 meters its temperature has decreased 10 degrees centigrade. This phenomenon is best described as the ______________.

Answer 1

phenomenon is dry adiabatic lapse rate

Step-by-step explanation:

air babble elevation = 1000 meters

temperature = 10 degree decrease

to find out

phenomenon is best described as

solution

we know bubble is unsaturated air is rising through the atmosphere

bubble reach height 1000 meter and temperature 10 degree

than phenomenon is dry adiabatic lapse rate

because when parcel of air is lift and pressure decrease with height and temperature fall down by expansion and rate of temperature fall 1°C /100 m in dry Adiabatic lapse rate parcel descends to higher pressure and temperature then increase at rate 1°C / 100 meters

this his phenomenon is dry adiabatic lapse rate
