A parcel of rising air is least likely to do this:
A)contract.
B)cool.
C)reach the lifting condensation level.
D)reach an area of lower pressure.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rising air expands and cools as it moves higher in the atmosphere. This cooling causes water vapor in the air to condense and form clouds. As the air continues to rise, it eventually reaches the lifting condensation level, where the relative humidity is 100% and clouds begin to form. It will then continue to rise until it reaches an area of lower pressure, which allows it to continue to rise and potentially form storms. However, the air parcel will not contract as it rises as it is experiencing less pressure and its volume increases.
