why would the warmer parcel cool at a slower rate between 1.5 and 5km? A   Warmer air is lower in pressure and therefore cools at a slower rate after the LCL. B   The warmer air parcel has a higher temperature and therefore the molecules are moving faster.  It is harder to slow down these fast moving molecules and therefore the temperature decreases more slowly. C   Warmer air is higher in pressure and therefore cools at a slower rate after the LCL D   The warmer air parcel has more water vapor to begin and therefore releases more heat due to evaporation after the LCL E   Warmer air moves at a slower rate and therefore cools at a slower rate F   The warmer air parcel has more water vapor to begin and therefore releases more heat due to condensation after the LCL

Question

why would the warmer parcel cool at a slower rate between 1.5 and 5km?

A  

Warmer air is lower in pressure and therefore cools at a slower rate after the LCL.

B  

The warmer air parcel has a higher temperature and therefore the molecules are moving faster.  It is harder to slow down these fast moving molecules and therefore the temperature decreases more slowly.

C  

Warmer air is higher in pressure and therefore cools at a slower rate after the LCL

D  

The warmer air parcel has more water vapor to begin and therefore releases more heat due to evaporation after the LCL

E  

Warmer air moves at a slower rate and therefore cools at a slower rate

F  

The warmer air parcel has more water vapor to begin and therefore releases more heat due to condensation after the LCL
