There are two air parcels. Air parcel 1 and air parcel 2 both have the same amount of water vapor. Which one will have more energy transferred out? 气团1（40°C）和气团2（10°C）的水蒸气含量一样。哪个能量传出的比较多？

• Air Parcel 1

• Air Parcel 2

Day 1 and Day 2 in Pine Brook started with the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels in the area.

It rained at the end of Day 2 but it did not rain at the end of Day 1. 小镇的水蒸气含量一样。但是镇上第一天没下雨，第二天却下雨了。

What could have happened with the air parcel on Day 2 to cause rainfall? 什么导致气团在第二天下雨？

• The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy （得到能量）.

• The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy （失去能量）

• The air parcel was cooler than the surrounding air, so it gained energy.

Florida had two rainstorms in July. Storm 2 had more rainfall than Storm 1. The temperature of the surrounding areas was the same before both storms. What could have caused Storm 2 to have more rainfall than Storm 1? Before Storm 2, Florida could have been: 佛罗里达州有两场暴雨。第一场暴雨比较大。在第1场雨之前，佛州：

• warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

• cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.

• cooler than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

• warmer than before Storm 1 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.

When water vapor in an air parcel cools and condenses, which way does energy transfer?

• Out of the air parcel.

• Into the air parcel.

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.
