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 because?
of the release of latent heat
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...
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.
Mechanical weathering occurs at a greater rate in climates that are?
Cold and Wet
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.

Which property remains unchanged during an adiabatic saturation moist air?
Wet bulb temperature
Is the wet rate always lower than the dry rate?
For airplane rentals, no. Since the wet rate includes fuel.

What environmental lapse rate does stability prevail?
less than the wet adiabotic rate
