An instructor asked her class to summarize some information about atmospheric processes. Students submitted the following four statements as part of their answers. The instructor returned the statements and told the students that they could correct them for full credit. Identify what is wrong with each statement, and describe how you would fix these answers to earn full credit.
1. The temperature of a rising parcel of air decreases by the normal lapse rate.
2. The percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
3. When it rains, you have to use the wet adiabatic lapse rate to figure out temperatures at higher elevations.
4. The dry adiabatic lapse rate is higher than the wet adiabatic lapse rate, so air temperatures should be higher in dry air (before condensation occurs) than in wet air (after condensation occurs).
