Day 1 and Day 2 in Kokomo started with the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels over Kokomo. It rained at the end of Day 1 but it did not rain at the end of Day 2.

What could have happened to the air parcel to cause rainfall on Day 1?

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

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

• The air parcel was warmer than the surrounding air, so it lost energy.

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