← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when moisture-laden air ascends a mountain slope?
A)Adiabatic cooling leads to condensation✓
B)Isothermal expansion reduces moisture capacity
C)Latent heat absorption warms descending air
D)Convection accelerates air mass expansion
💡 Explanation
As air rises, decreases in pressure cause adiabatic cooling; this leads to condensation of water vapor, because the air parcel expands and its molecules lose kinetic energy, therefore clouds form rather than the air continuing as unsaturated.
