Gce Model Questions Vol1 2021 Geography Question 17
Practice objective / multiple choice question 17 from the 2021 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
At sea level the air temperature is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\) and the relative humidity is 60 %. The air parcel rises adiabatically to an altitude of 1500 m. The dry‑adiabatic lapse rate is \(9.8^{\circ}\text{C km}^{-1}\) until the parcel becomes saturated, after which the moist‑adiabatic lapse rate of \(6^{\circ}\text{C km}^{-1}\) applies. Using the approximation \(T_{\text{dew}} = T - \frac{100 - \text{RH}}{5}\) to estimate the dew‑point temperature, determine the temperature of the parcel when it reaches 1500 m (give your answer to one decimal place).
