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
The rate of temperature change 0.6 degrees C for every 100 m of saturated air as it rises or falls is the moist adiabatic?
Lapse rate
What is an adiabatic lapse rate?
An adiabiatic lapse rate is the rate of the decrease of temperature with height of a parcel of dry air lifted upward through the atmosphere with no addition or deletion of heat.
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').
When the environmental lapse rate is less than the dry adiabatic rate a parcel of air will be?
Then the air is called "stable" because a parcel of air from the surface lifted upward will drop in temperature at the dry adiabatic lapse rate. If the environmental lapse rate is less, then the lifted air will be cooler and more dense than the surrounding air, and thus stop moving upward through the atmosphere.
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.
The rate of temperature change (0.6 degrees C for every 100 m) of saturated air as it rises or falls is the moist-adiabatic?

Suppose the dry adiabatic lapse rate is 10 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters and the saturated adiabatic lapse rate is 6 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters A sounding of the atmosphere indicates an enviro?
Absolutely Stable Air
What is the rate of adiabatic temperature change in saturated air?
As I recall from flight school, the adiabatic lapse rate is 4.5oF per 1000 feet.
The rate of temperature change 0.6 degrees C for every 100 m of saturated air as it rises or falls is the moist adiabatic?
Lapse rate
What is an adiabatic lapse rate?
An adiabiatic lapse rate is the rate of the decrease of temperature with height of a parcel of dry air lifted upward through the atmosphere with no addition or deletion of heat.
Is it true in the California mountains temperature drops about 3 degrees for every 1000 feet of elevation?
That's generally true anywhere, not just in California. It's called the "adiabatic lapse rate".

Why are mountain in the tropics covered with snow?
Mountains in the Tropics are covered in snow because of lapse rate. The lapse rate is for every 1,000 feet in altitude you travel up a mountain, the temperature drops 31/2 degrees F.
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.
When the environmental lapse rate is less than the dry adiabatic rate a parcel of air will be?
Then the air is called "stable" because a parcel of air from the surface lifted upward will drop in temperature at the dry adiabatic lapse rate. If the environmental lapse rate is less, then the lifted air will be cooler and more dense than the surrounding air, and thus stop moving upward through the atmosphere.
