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.
Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
Which property remains unchanged during an adiabatic saturation moist air?
Wet bulb temperature
Is humidity high or low if the wet and dry bulb readings are close to each other?
The humidity is high. The air is saturated, so the water in the wet bulb is not evaporating and cooling the bulb.
What causes wet and dry seasons in the tropics?
Yes it has both wet and dry seasons . In the summer its dry. during the rainy seasons its wet .!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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').
The wet adiabatic rate of cooling is less than the dry rate?
of the release of latent heat
The wet adiabatic rate of cooling is less than the dry rate because?
of the release of latent heat
The wet adiabatic rate of cooling is less than dry rate because?
of the release of latent heat

Stability prevails when the environmental lapse rate is?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
Why is the wet adiabatic rate not a constant figure?
Because it is dependant on the temperature of the surrounding air.
With a wet adiabatic lapse rate of 6 degrees per Km what is the temperature at the top of the mountain?
You would need to know how high the mountain is and what the temperature is at the bottom...
What must the environmental lapse be in order for stability to prevail?
less than the wet adiabatic rate.
Is the wet rate always lower than the dry rate?
For airplane rentals, no. Since the wet rate includes fuel.
What are the componets of the physical environment?
The forenvironments are dry, moist ,wet ,very wet.
The rate of chemical weathering is in hot wet climates than in cold dry climates?
The rate of chemical weathering in hot wet climates is consider humanity. This is taught in science.
