What type of lifting occurs around a mountain?
Approx. 10 degrees per 1,000 meters
Why is the dry lapse rate greater than the saturated lapse rate?
Dry air absorbs heat energy when condensing.
Saturated air is usually at a higher temperature than dry air.
Saturated air dispels latent heat energy when condensing.
Dry air is usually at a higher temperature.

Once the parcel reaches its saturation point.
Once the surrournding temperature matches that of the parcel's.
Once the parcel's temperature exceeds the surrounding temperature.
