← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a humid air parcel rises, initiating cloud formation?
A)Adiabatic cooling attains water saturation✓
B)Isothermal expansion increases heat capacity
C)Diabatic heating causes immediate precipitation
D)Isobaric compression removes water vapor
💡 Explanation
Adiabatic cooling causes air parcel temperature to drop, eventually reaching its dew point; causing water vapor condensation. Condensation then happens because saturation occurs via adiabatic cooling, therefore, cloud formation is initialized, rather than precipitation or vapor removal.
