At a certain elevation,the ________ ,the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The lifting condensation level is the elevation at which rising air parcels cool to their dew point temperature, which means the air becomes saturated and water-vapor molecules start to condense. This results in the formation of clouds, and the lifting condensation level is the base of cloud formation. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. The equilibrium level, on the other hand, is the level at which the rising air parcel becomes cooler than the surrounding air and stops rising. This marks the upper limit of cloud formation and stabilizes the atmosphere, but it does not cause condensation.
