Question

1. Energy stored in the phase change of water is called latent heat.

a) True

b) False

2. Higher pressure gradient forces (PGF) result in weaker winds.

a) True

b) False

3. What adiabatic lapse rate do you use when cooling a saturated air parcel?

a) Dry adiabatic lapse rate

b) Wet adiabatic lapse rate

4. If the amount of water in the atmosphere is held constant, increasing the air temperature will cause the humidity to

a) Increase.

b) Decrease.

Answer 1

(1) True - (AS) Latent heat is the head required to change the phose of waten like from solid to liquid cong Liquid to gases. (2) False (AS) PGF is strong an anca with Low pressure so a strong pressure gnadiona forca (PGF) exists in Strong wind. (3) Wet adiabatic Lapse reate * Genenally satenated ain Cools slowly and we use average rate of 6°C/km and it's called wet adiabatic Lapse note. w Decreases By increasing temperatune the amount of waten vapocan that ain can hold will increase so the humidity will decrease.
