ATSC 110 Test 2 Questions and Answers All Correct What is an unstable atmosphere? - Answer- When a parcel of air remains warmer than the surrounding air while being lifted, we say the air is unstable. In other words, when the environmental lapse rate is greater than the dry lapse rate (10°C/km) the atmosphere is absolutely unstable. What conditions cause an unstable atmosphere? - Answer- The environmental lapse rate is large (steep) when unstable conditions prevail. In other words the d...
