Reason being vaguely adiabatic process is more rapid - process is done so fast that no energy is allowed to enter or exit the system. So P-v variations will be high

Why an adiabatic curve steeper than an iosthermal?
In isothermal the temperature is constant whereas in adiabatic the temperature falls or rises rapidly.Consider the case for expansion where in adiabatic the temperature drops. If you consider PV/T=constant then for same pressure we can show that as temp decreases the volume also decreases. During expansion for isothermal the temp does not change so volume is higher than adiabatic. Example: Isothermal P=8 Pa, V=x , T=2K Adiabatic P=8 Pa, V=y, T=1K (as it drops) Using PV/T=constant we can find that y is less than x.
Steeper lines have a what slope than that of flatter lines?

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
Is a mountain steeper than a hill?
Yes.A mountain is generally steeper than a hill because it is taller.
What is the steeper slope 30 percent or 15 percent?
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
What is known as carnot heat engin?
carnot's heat heat engine is also known as ideal heat engine.because in carnot's the precess is reversible .Total heat converted into work . The efficiency is maximum for carnot's heat engine.
What are characteristics of a youthful valley?
The bed of a youthful valley will be steeper than the remainder of the watercourse, and the valley walls will be steeper than the remainder of the watercourse.
What number if used as a slope would produce a graph steeper than the function y -5x?
-- Any number less than -5 is a steeper line sloping down. -- Any number greater than +5 is a steeper line sloping up.
Do warm fronts have steeper slopes than cold fronts?
no

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').
