Is a mountain steeper than a hill?
Yes.A mountain is generally steeper than a hill because it is taller.
What is isotherm curve?
A isotherm is a line of air pushing down on the earth belive it or not.
What is adiabatic?
Adiabaticity is the quality of being adiabatic, having no heat transfer.
Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
A change in temperature without an accompanying change in the amount of heat present is called what?
It is called adiabatic or an adiabatic process.
Why adiabatic curve is steeper than an isothermal curve?
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?
Flatter lines have a _____ slope than that of steeper 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.
When an isotherm bends toward a pole as it passes over an island it means that?
the island east/west of the isotherm is colder than the ocean to the east/west
When an isotherm bends toward a pole as it passes over an island what does it mean?
the island east/west of the isotherm is colder than the ocean to the east/west
What is the steeper slope 30 percent or 15 percent?
30% is steeper than 15% slope.
What part of speech is the word isotherm?
Isotherm is a noun.
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.
What is isotherm curve?
A isotherm is a line of air pushing down on the earth belive it or not.
