Question

) The cooling or warming of air that occurs because air is allowed to expand or is compressed, not because it is added or subtracted is called ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

Adiabatic temperature changes.

Explanation:

Temperature changes related to changes of pressure without external gain or loss of heat. If no heat is added or lost to the surroundings, then when an air parcel rises and expands, its temperature drops. Conversely, when the parcel is compressed, its temperature rises. So the term adiabatic, implies a change in temperature of the air parcel without gain or loss of heat from outside the air parcel.
