What happens to the relative humidity of moist air as the air travels over the cascade range?
Decreases
What happens to iron when it is exposed to moist air?
Iron is oxidized and rusting appear.
What happens to air when it sink?
When a parcel of air is forced downward, atmospheric pressure increases, causing the air to become compressed and therefore the temperature is also raised.
What is Saturn air like?
moist moist moist
Does thunderstorms form with dry air or moist air?
Thunderstorms require moist air to form. That is where the rain comes from.
What is lifting condensation level?
Lifting Condensation Level is altitude at which clouds begin in a rising parcel of air. Lifting condensation level(LCL) can be said to be the level to which an unsaturated air parcel can be lifted adiabatically before it becomes saturated.Remember,this unsaturated air parcel is moist
What happens when gold is kept in moist air for long?
Nothing
What happens when moist air pushes a mountain?
Orographic effect
What happens to relative humidity as a parcel or air rises?
The relative humidity drops. This is because the temperature for the parcel of air is cold and wet which leaves enough room for some water vapor, but not a lot.
What happens to the relative humidity of moist air as the air travels over the cascade range?
Decreases
What is air parcel?
An air parcel is an imaginary body of air with the basic properties of atmospheric air.
What is an air parcel?

What happens to a moist air mass as it moves up in the atmosphere?
It cools and condenses
What happens to iron when it is exposed to moist air?
Iron is oxidized and rusting appear.
What happens right after warm air expands and rises?
Cool, moist, heavy air replaces rising hot air
The lapse rate for moist air is lower than for dry air because?
- Moist air has water vapor in it. - As a moist air parcel rises, the water vapor will condense (latent heat of condensation) - latent heat is released, meaning a temperature increase occurs within that air parcel, effectively dampening its lapse rate. Thus, the latent heat of condensation is working to decrease the lapse rate because sensible heat is being released in the process; its called the Moist Adiabatic Rate (MAR) In contrast, the Dry Adiabatic Rate (DAR) considered for Dry air (no water vapor) does not involve condensation, and thus no latent heat is released; meaning the lapse rate is unaffected.
What happens to air when it sink?
When a parcel of air is forced downward, atmospheric pressure increases, causing the air to become compressed and therefore the temperature is also raised.
