Which large-scale consequence directly results from the adiabatic cooling effect within rising air masses?

💡 Explanation

When air masses rise, adiabatic cooling occurs as the air expands because of lower pressure, causing water vapor to condense beyond its saturation level, leading to cloud formation. Therefore cloud cover and precipitation result. High-pressure require sinking motion, salinity require specific evaporation conditions and global temperature depends on planetary albedo.
