Question

Please refer to the actual scenario itself "#3" before solving for subsection "3d".  These two images are part of the same question.  

(d) I is the environmental lapse rate, which measures the actual decrease in temperature
with altitude. If I'd > > I'm, the environment is conditionally unstable. What does
this mean? In other words, if a parcel is lifted adiabatically, how fast will it cool?
