QUESTION 11 Assume a parcel of air rises from the surface to 2000 meters. What is the stability of the parcel of air at 2000 meters if the parcel temperature at 2000 meters is 10°C and the environmental temperature at 2000 meters is 6°C? A The parcel is unstable. B. The parcel is stable The parcel is neutral (neither stable nor unstable) Not enough information is provided to answer correctly. D.N QUESTION 12 The terms listed below are used in discussing how clouds produce precipitation. Each term has something in common with the other terms, except one. Which term does NOT belong?

Explanation / Answer

Answer 11 - A. The parcel is unstable.

Explanation : Since the parcel of air at the same height has a higher temperature than that of the surrounding environment, it is warmer. Now this warm parcel of air becomes unstable because it is warmer and less dense than the surrounding environment. Thus, the parcel of air will continue to float upwards in the atmosphere on its own.

Answer 12 - B. Warm clouds.

Explanation : Among the given options, only warm cloud is associated with warmer temperatures greater than 15? and liquid precipitation.
