Question 1.
What happens to air temperature as you rise in altitude?
Show hintHide hint
Think about a balloon rising in the atmosphere.
Question 2.
What causes warm air to rise?
Show hintHide hint
Consider why hot air balloons rise.
3Question 3.
What is the environmental lapse rate?
- The rate at which temperature increases with height
- The rate at which temperature decreases with height
- The rate at which humidity increases with height
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the temperature changes as you go up the mountains.
4Question 4.
True or False: A temperature inversion can improve air quality.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the examples of fog and pollution observed in cities.
Question 5.
Consider a city that frequently experiences temperature inversions in winter. Predict the effects on local air quality, and suggest mitigation strategies.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between temperature inversions and pollution.
Question 6.
You have temperature data showing a dry adiabatic lapse rate of -9.8°C/km in an area. If you release a pollutant at 300K at ground level, at what altitude will the pollutant cool to match the environmental temperature of 295K?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how the lapse rate relates to temperature change with altitude.
