Question

TRUE OR FALSE

5. Valleys are less susceptible to radiation fog than are hilltops. 6. During the ice crystal process of rain formation, ice crystals grow at the expense of the surrounding water droplets 7. Rising parcels of dry and moist air cool at the same rate as long as the moist air does not become saturated. 8. Winds aloft blow from east to west in both the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere.

Answer 1

5. TRUE. Valleys are truly more susceptible to radiation fog than hill tops.

6. TRUE. During the ice crystal process of rain formation or the Bergeron process the ice crystals grow larger at the expense of the surrounding water droplets.

7. FALSE. The moist adiabatic rate of cooling is normally less than that of the dry adiabatic lapse rate because as the parcel of moist air expands, the water droplets within it evaporates, taking the heat with them, resulting in cooling.

8. False. Winds blow counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
