← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a humid air parcel rises rapidly past its lifting condensation level?
A)Latent heat release increases buoyancy✓
B)Adiabatic cooling stabilizes air aloft
C)Entrainment reduces moist adiabatic lapse
D)Precipitation efficiency decreases sharply
💡 Explanation
Latent heat release increases buoyancy due to the phase transition – condensation – in water vapor, releasing energy. Therefore, the air parcel accelerates upward because continued warmth input, rather than other alternatives driven by differing atmospheric conditions.
