Textbook Question
Chapter 31, Problem 7RQ
When a parcel of air rises, does it become warmer, become cooler, or remain at the same temperature?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether the parcel of air rises become warmer, cooler, or remain at the same temperature.
Answer to Problem 7RQ
The parcel of air rises becomes warmer.
Explanation of Solution
The density of the air reduces as the temperature increases as the high-density air lowers down during the low-density air rise in the upward direction. This concludes that the air at high altitudes is hotter than the air at low altitudes.
As the parcel of air rises, thus increases the altitude of the parcel will increase the temperature of the parcel of air. Thus, the parcel of air rises becomes warmer.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the parcel of air rises becomes warmer.

- please help with the abstract. Abstract - This document outlines the format of the lab report and describes the Excel assignment. The abstract should be a short paragraph that very briefly includes the experiment objective, method, result and conclusion. After skimming the abstract, the reader should be able to decide whether they want to keep reading your work. Both the format of the report and the error analysis are to be followed. Note that abstract is not just the introduction and conclusion combined, but rather the whole experiment in short including the results.
