CRSS 3060 Test 3 Questions &Answers 100% Accurate!! Precipitation - ANSWER-the input to our hydrologic cycle lapse rates - ANSWER-Rates at which air cools and warms. Ideal Gas Law - ANSWER-PV=nRT; predicts that air temp drops at high elevations because air pressure is lower cold air: - ANSWER-holds less water vapor than warm air saturation vapor pressure - ANSWER-Maximum amount of water air will hold (warm air hold more water than cold air) saturated vapor pressure = actual v...
