An air parcel stops rising once it

becomes the same amount of energy/temperature as the surrounding air

gains double the amount of its initial energy/temperature

Which storm is likely to have had more rainfall?

Storm 1 . The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when it moved higher, it lost more energy.

Storm 1 . The air parcel at the surface was warmer and had more energy, so when cooler air from above came down, it lost more energy.

Storm 2 . The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so when it moved higher, it gained more energy.

Storm 2 . The air parcel at the surface was cooler and had less energy, so with low energy it remained near the surface

Day 1 and Day 2 in Greenville started with the same amount of water vapor in the air parcels there. It rained at the end of Day 2 but it did not rain at the end of Day 1. What could have happened to the air parcel to cause rainfall on Day 2?

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

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

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

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

Air Parcel 1 is the same temperature as the surrounding air. Air parcel 2 is warmer than the surrounding air. Air Parcel 1 and Air Parcel 2 started with the same amount of water vapor in them. Which air parcel will have more rainfall and why?

Air Parcel 2 will lose energy to the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

Both air parcels will have the same amount of rain . They have the same surrounding air temperature, so the same amount of water vapor will fall as rain.

Air Parcel 1 is colder than Air Parcel 2, so more water vapor will fall as rain.

Air Parcel 2 will gain energy from the surrounding air, which will cause more water vapor to fall as rain.

What could explain why Storm 1 had more rainfall than Storm 2? Before Storm 1, the air parcel at the surface could have been:

warmer, so when the air parcel moved higher, it lost more energy.

warmer, so when cooler air from above moved down, it lost more energy.

cooler, so when the air parcel moved higher, it gained more energy.

cooler, so the air parcel had low energy and remained near the surface.
