Air warms at a rate of about 5.5 degrees F as it rises 1000 feet.
Correct!
It is the rate of change of temperature in the atmosphere. If you were to climb a ladder up into the atmosphere, it
would be the temperature of the thermometer you are holding.
It is the rate of temperature decrease as a parcel of wet (saturated air) rises.
This is a brief quiz about the lecture on thunderstorm processes.
