An air parcel will rise ....

• When the temperature is the same as the surrounding air

• When it is colder than the surrounding air

• When it is warmer than the surrounding air

True or False: As an air parcel rises, energy transfers from warm air to cold surrounding air until their temperatures become equal.

• True

• False

When does energy stop transferring out of an air parcel?

• When the air parcel temperature is warmer than the surrounding air.

• When the air parcel temperature is even colder than the surrounding air.

• When the air parcel temperature is the same as the surrounding air.

More surface water (larger body of water) =

• less water vapor and smaller storm

• less water vapor and larger storm

• more water vapor and smaller storm

• more water vapor and larger storm

temperature

• water as a gas

• the path that all water follows as it moves around Earth in different states

• an amount of air that moves as a unit

• a measure of how hot or cold something is
