Which of the following is correctly matched?
A)fog = a stratus cloud that is high in elevation off the ground
B)typical cumulus cloud = weight of 5-10 tons.
C)precipitation = rain,graupel,snow,hail
D)cloud droplets = water vapour only
E)adiabatic cooling = heat removed from a parcel of air

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Precipitation includes rain, graupel, snow, and hail.

Note: Fog is a stratus cloud that is low in elevation off the ground, so option A is incorrect. Option B is also incorrect as the weight of a typical cumulus cloud is around 500,000-1,000,000 tons. Option D is incorrect as cloud droplets are made up of water vapor and other atmospheric gases. Option E is incorrect as adiabatic cooling refers to heat being removed from a parcel of air as it rises due to a decrease in pressure, not just any heat removal.
