Which outcome occurs when moisture-laden air ascends a mountain slope?

💡 Explanation

As air rises, decreases in pressure cause adiabatic cooling; this leads to condensation of water vapor, because the air parcel expands and its molecules lose kinetic energy, therefore clouds form rather than the air continuing as unsaturated.
