Question

If a 30 °C air parcel rises from sea level to 3000 meters altitude and cools at the dry adiabatic rate, what will be its temperature at 3000 meters? O 10 °C O-10 °C 20 °C

Answer 1

`0^\circ C`

Step-by-step explanation:

Dry adiabatic lapse rate is defined as:

`\Gamma = 9.8 ^\circ C/km`

The air rises 3000 m, that is 3 km.

If it cools
`9.8 ^\circ C` each km its temperature drops approximately
`30 ^\circ C`. From 30 to 0.
