Which outcome occurs when a humid air mass rapidly ascends a mountain?

A)Adiabatic cooling causes water condensation
B)Air density increases; clear skies form
C)Isothermal expansion reduces moisture content
D)Latent heat absorption warms rising air

Adiabatic cooling occurs because rising air expands under lower pressure; the Expansion depresses the temperature causing water vapor reaches saturation point leading to condensation therefore creating cloud cover, rather than the air warming or remaining dry.
