Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When air contains all the water vapor it can hold, it is said to be saturated. At this point, any additional water vapor will result in condensation. Adiabatic refers to a process where there is no transfer of heat or matter between a system and its environment, while the dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated and dew or frost can form. Unstable refers to a condition where the air is rising and has the potential to develop into a thunderstorm or severe weather, while convective refers to a type of heat transfer that occurs due to the movement of fluid or air.
