Question

Amplify The temperature of the areas surrounding Farmington before Storm 1 and before Storm 2 was about 8°C, and there was the same amount of water vapor in the air. Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2. Farmington Before Storm 1: Photograph of farmland on a clear day, with a blank response box containing a question mark. The air temperature is 8° Celsius. Before Storm 2: The same scene with an air parcel in place of the blank response box. The temperature inside the air parcel is 19° Celsius and outside is 8° Celsius. Arrows labeled wind frame the air parcel, pointing inwards. What were the conditions before Storm 1, and why did more rain fall with those conditions?

Answer 1

Storm 1. The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.
