What causes rain to fall from an air parcel?

• The air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it loses energy.

• The air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

• The air parcel is the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy.

What is the relationship between air parcels and wind?

• The wind pushes the air parcel in many different directions cooling it faster causing more condensation.

• The wind pushes the air parcel a little into the troposphere cooling it and causing more condensation.

• The wind pushes the air parcel higher into the troposphere cooling it faster causing more condensation.

• The wind pushes the air parcel in circles until it gets dizzy.
