  • Q1

    What is the key concept that explains why an air parcel rises and causes more rainfall when it starts with a higher temperature?

    When an air parcel starts with a lower temperature, it will rise higher and lose more energy, causing more rainfall.

    If an air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air it will rise

    The troposphere is warmest at the surface and coldest at its highest point.

  • Q11

    Apply the concept of air parcel temperature to explain how a higher temperature before a storm could lead to more severe rainstorms in Galetown.

    Higher initial temperature causes air parcels to rise higher, lose more energy, and produce more rainfall.

    Higher initial temperature causes air parcels to rise less, leading to less energy transfer and less rainfall.

    Higher initial temperature leads to faster evaporation, causing less rainfall.
