What causes rain to fall from an air parcel?

• the air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it loses energy

• the air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy

• the air parcel is the same low temperature as the surrounding air, so it had low energy

What causes rain to fall from an air parcel?

• the air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it loses energy

• the air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air, so it gained energy

(T/F) The surrounding air in the troposphere gets colder the higher you go up.

• True

• False

An air parcel stops rising once it

• loses all of its energy

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

• gains double the amount of its initial energy/temperature

• lose all water vapor
