Question
Consider the following atmospheric conditions: the surface air temperature is 18 degrees C, and the air temperature at 1000m is 10 Degrees C.
If a parcel of dry air is lifted from the surface to a height of 1000 m, will it continue upward or be pushed back down? Why? What if the parcel is initially saturated with moisture?
