← ScienceWhich consequence results when adiabatic expansion causes rapid water vapor cooling?
A)Hailstone formation within storm clouds✓
B)Increased buoyancy of air mass
C)Increased latent heat absorption
D)Decreased relative humidity levels
💡 Explanation
Hail forms because the adiabatic expansion rapidly cools water vapor promoting ice nucleation, therefore large ice crystals grow rather than condensation elsewhere due to less efficient heat transfer at lower dew points.
