Question

If a 30 °C air parcel rises from sea level to 3000 meters altitude and cools at the dry adiabatic rate, what will be its temperature at 3000 meters? O 10 °C O-10 °C 20 °C

Answer 1

Answer:

$0^\circ C$

Explanation:

Dry adiabatic lapse rate is defined as:

$\Gamma = 9.8 ^\circ C/km$

The air rises 3000 m, that is 3 km.

If it cools $9.8 ^\circ C$ each km its temperature drops approximately $30 ^\circ C$. From 30 to 0.
