This image shows energy being transferred in a system. Where does energy transfer to an air parcel from?

• The sun's energy transfers directly to an air parcel.

• The sun's energy transfers to the surface then the surface transfers energy to the air parcel.

• An air parcel creates it's own energy.

• Air parcels do not change temperature which means energy is never transferred.

• evaporation

• condensation

Which storm likely had more rainfall?

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

• Storm 1. Wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel.

• Storm 2. The cooler air parcel had less energy at the surface, so when wind pushed it higher, it gained more energy.

• Storm 2. Wind caused cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the air parcel at the surface to lose more energy.
