Which of the following results in the difference between the dry adiabatic rate and the moist adiabatic rate?
A)The latent heat of condensation.
B)Less atmospheric pressure.
C)Altitudinal temperature differences.
D)The specific heat of water.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The latent heat of condensation is released during the process of water vapor condensing into liquid, which occurs during cooling and causes the moist adiabatic rate to be lower than the dry adiabatic rate. The other options do not directly affect the difference between the two rates.
