a. Environmental Lapse Rate, Standard Adiabatic Lapse Rate, Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate
b. Equatorial Lapse Rate, Subtropical Adiabatic Lapse Rate, Polar Adiabatic Lapse Rate
c. Elevated Lapse Rate, Summer Adiabatic Lapse Rate, Winter Adiabatic Lapse Rate
d. Equilibrium Lapse Rate, Standard Atmospheric Lapse Rate, Differential Adiabatic Lapse Rate

Answer 1

a. Environmental Lapse Rate, Standard Adiabatic Lapse Rate, Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate

ELR, SALR, and DALR stand for Environmental Lapse Rate, Standard Adiabatic Lapse Rate, and Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate, respectively, which are terms used to describe the changes in atmospheric temperature with altitude.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer to what ELR, SALR, and DALR represent is a. Environmental Lapse Rate, Standard Adiabatic Lapse Rate, Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate. The Environmental Lapse Rate (ELR) is the rate at which the temperature of the atmosphere decreases with an increase in altitude. The Standard Adiabatic Lapse Rate (SALR) is the rate at which the temperature of a parcel of moist air changes as it moves up or down in the atmosphere without exchanging heat. Lastly, the Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR) is the rate at which a dry air parcel would cool by expanding as it rises, or heat by compressing as it descends, again without any exchange of heat.
