A) calculate the dry - adiabatic lapse rate for the earth’s troposphere in [ 0 k/km] given: = 7 5 , = 980 cm/ , = 50.1 x 10^−24 and

= 1.38 x 10^−16 /k respectively.

b) challenge question: if the parcel contains a lot of water vapor, as it rises further in altitude the parcel gets saturated with water vapor. the vapor eventually condenses to liquid droplets thereby releasing latent heat of condensation lowering the rate of cooling. this wet/moist adiabatic lapse rate is found to be smaller than the dry adiabatic lapse rate. calculate the wet/moist adiabatic lapse rate for the earth’s troposphere using the equation derived in the class.

given: t = 280 k, =1 =8.3 x10^7 erg/k/mole,

= 3 x10^7 =2 x 10^10 erg/g, = 5.1 x 10^11 / = 30.6 x10^− 24

The great scientist alfred wegener proposed that continents have moved, while other scientists such as t. c.chamberlin argued against wegener. wegener's ideas eventually won, and are now widely accepted, because: a) wegener's ideas were more beautiful, and so were favored by the intellectual elite. b) wegener's ideas did a better job of predicting the results of new observations and experiments. c) wegener's ideas appealed to dead white european males, whereas chamberlin's didn't. d) wegener's ideas appalled dead white european males, and we all know that in this politically correct era, dead white european males cannot get a fair shake. e) wegener won the nobel prize.
