How does the moist adiabatic lapse rate compare with the dry-adiabatic lapse rate?
environmental lapse rate involves the actual temperature of the atmosphere at various heights. adiabatic cooling is the cooling of air caused when air is not allowed to expand or compress.
What is the rate of cooling as you increase in elevation?
The rate at which adiabatic cooling occurs with increasing altitude for wet air (air containing clouds or other visible forms of moisture) is called the wet adiabatic lapse rate, the moist adiabatic lapse rate, or the saturated adiabatic lapse rate.
The rate at which temperature decreases with increasing altitude is known as?
Lapse rate
Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
When the environmental lapse rate is between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates conditions are described as what?
They are called conditionally unstable,
Why is saturated adiabatic lapse rate a lesser than dry adiabatic lapse rate?
When environmental lapse rate is more than dry adiabatic lapse rate, the atmosphere is said to be in
What does lapse rate mean?
Lapse rate is the rate at which air temperature decreases with existing altitude
The earth's atmosphere is divided into layers based on changes in the vertical profile of?
The layers are defined primarily by the "lapse rate", or change in temperature with increasing altitude. The lapse rate is negative (temperature falls) in the troposphere, but positive (temperature rises) in the stratosphere. Temperatures decrease again when ascending into the Mesosphere.
What is the difference between the normal lapse rate and the environmental lapse rate?
The environmental lapse rate (ELR), is the rate of decrease of temperature with altitude in the stationary atmosphere at a given time and location.While Normal Lapse Rate is average concept for temperature decline with height in the troposphere.

What controls the lapse rate of an air layer next to the ground?
The lapse rate is defined as the rate at which atmospheric temperature decreases with increase in altitude. It is strongly influenced by both the heating and cooling of the ground.
Is the adiabatic lapse rate higher when its cloudy or not?
There are two types of adiabatic lapse rates...wet and dry. (wet is also referred to as saturated or moist) To the extent that the cloudiness your question refers to represents saturated air, then no, the wet adiabatic lapse rate would be lower (approximately 1.5C/1000') than the dry adiabatic lapse rate (approximately 3C/1000').
Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
What environmental lapse rate does stability prevail?
less than the wet adiabotic rate
When the environmental lapse rate is between the dry and moist adiabatic lapse rates conditions are described as what?
They are called conditionally unstable,
