Put the Adiabatic cooling process in order

Geography
1 answer:
Nimfa-mama [501]4 years ago
5 0

Answer

A parcel of air travels upwards ----- Air expands and cools at dry adiabatic rate----- Parcel of air cools to dew point ----- Air continues to cool at wet adiabatic rate.

Explanation:

The correct order is as follows

A parcel of air travels upwards ----- Air expands and cools at dry adiabatic rate----- Parcel of air cools to dew point ----- Air continues to cool at wet adiabatic rate.

An adiabatic process is one which involves no heat exchange between the air parcel and the surroundings. When a parcel of air is lighter then it starts to move upwards. It gradually cools since there is no heat exchange between the surrounding air with the air parcel (Also because in troposphere, there is decrease in temperature with altitude). This cooling is called dry adiabatic lapse rate and is usually 10°C/ km for unsaturated air.

Since the decrease in temperature is taking place, condensation takes place. Then the air parcel cools to the dew point. Since the heat within the air parcel was not able to be released since it is an adiabatic process, so during condensation that heat is released, which enhances the cooling even more, such that it becomes wet adiabatic lapse rate (5°C/km). The heat is released due to change in state of the water due to condensation taking place.

Where is most if the earth’s freshwater stored
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

<u>In glaciers, North and South poles and some lakes.</u>

Explanation:

  • As more than 70% of freshwater can be found in continental glaciers around the world. The rest is in icecaps and 0.5 % store in lakes and rivers, and swamps.
  • Rest if possible may be found in the groundwater aquifers, hidden in remote and cut off lace of the world.  
  • Antarctica and arctic alone consist of a huge share of freshwater in the world which is stored in ice forms. While 97% of oceanic water is saline not fit for drinking.  
  • Various techniques are available for desalination of water but most of it not suitable for long term use. As it may have bacteria and harmful effects on the body. Due to climate change release of methane gas and other harmful greenhouse gases are quickly melting and depleting the freshwater r

Each layer of rock in the image is a rock formation. How long do you think it took for each layer to form?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer: First off, that is a beautiful rock!

Also, is there any other information given? Like about rock layer formation, or about this rock specifically or anything?

If there is no other information, then I'd say it took thousands for years for the layers to form, but it depends on the type of rock in the layer.

For example, Igneous rock takes only a few days to form, because all it is is cooled lava, whereas granite takes a few million years to form.

This looks like it might be sandstone or something.

Sandstone takes about 10-100 years to form, so if this is sandstone, then each layer probably look about 100 years to form, and the whole rock with all the layers might have taken thousands of years, but I need more info to be sure.
