← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a large cloud fully transitions into precipitation?
A)Latent heat release warms atmosphere✓
B)Isothermal volume expansion cools cloud
C)Surface tension prevents droplet coagulation
D)Adiabatic compression increases cloud temperature
💡 Explanation
Latent heat releases because water vapor condenses during the phase transition, warming surroundings through condensation. Therefore atmospheric warming occurs, rather than cooling by air expansion, as surface energy effects become small for cloud-scale systems.
