Entrainment is especially active along the edges of growing clouds because
A)saturated air enters rising air parcels, causing evaporation
B)unsaturated air enters rising air parcels, causing evaporation
C)saturated air enters rising air parcels, preventing condensation
D)saturated air enters rising air parcels, increasing turbulence

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entrainment refers to the process where unsaturated air from the surroundings is mixed with the rising air parcels in a cloud. This mixing can lead to evaporation because the unsaturated air has a lower humidity, which can absorb more water vapor, thus potentially slowing down the condensation process that forms the cloud.
