Weather Patterns

The surrounding air in the troposphere gets colder the higher you go up.

• True

• False

An air parcel stops rising once it

• loses all of its energy

• becomes the same amount of energy/temperature as the surrounding air

• gains double the amount of its initial energy/temperature

• lose all water vapor

• True

• False

Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?

• Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

• Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

• Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.

• Storm 2. The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface

What could have happened to the air parcel to cause rainfall on Day 2?

• The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.

• The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

• The air parcel was at the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy.

• The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.
