WX 201 Exam 2 with correct Answers (Graded A) An unsaturated air parcel cools or warms at what rate? Dry adiabatic lapse rate (DALR) A saturated air parcel cools or warms at which rate? Moist adiabatic rate (MALR) If the environmental lapse rate is greater than the dry adiabatic rate, the atmosphere is: Absolutely unstable Surface cooling and warm air advection aloft generally do what to the atmosphere? Make it more stable An air parcel starts to rise freely when it firs...

APES Unit 4 ReviewWeather - correct answer Short-term conditions of the atmosphere in a local area Climate - correct answer Average weather over a long period (several decades) Trophosphere - correct answer Layer of Earth closest to earth; densest; where weather occurs Stratosphere - correct answer Layer of Earth next closest to earth; next densest; contains ozone layer Mesosphere - correct answer Layer of Earth 3rd closest to earth Thermosphere - correct answer Layer of Ear...

Private Pilot Vocab 100% Correct Absolute Altitude Actual height above the surface of the earth, either land or water. Absolute Ceiling The altitude where a particular airplane's climb rate reaches zero. Adiabatic Cooling A process of cooling the air through expansion. For example, as air moves up a slope it expands with the reduction of atmospheric pressure and cools as it expands. Adiabatic Heating A process of heating dry air through compression. For example, as air moves down a slope it ...

Dry adiabatic lapse rate - ANSWER The air will change 1 degree Cel for every 100 m it rises. Troposphere - ANSWER The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere and site of all weather on Earth. Usually 17 to 20 km, concentrations 80% of the mass of the atmosphere. Pg 410 Stratosphere - ANSWER Above the Troposphere. Temp increase as elevation increase. Low mixing rates with air, and high ozone concentrations. 19.9% of the mass of the atmosphere. pg 410 Mesosphere - ANSWER Is about 45 km to 8...

WX 201 - Exam 2 Chapter 6-10 Questions and Answers The elevation where clouds form is called ____ level. condensation If the environmental lapse rate is 5 ° C per 1,000 m and the temperature at Earth's surface is 25 ° C, then the air temperature at 2,000 m above the ground is 15°C. What transfers heat upward into the atmosphere? thermals Just above cumulus clouds, you would expect to find a stable layer. If an air parcel is given a small push upward and it falls back...
