Q)Why do dry & wet adiabetic lapse rates of cooling differ?

(4)

Dry adiabetic lapse rate is the measure to describe the change of temperature with
height.When a parcel of unsaturated air rises through the atmosphere in equilibrium
condition it expands & cools at a constant rate @ 1 degree celcius/100m of ascent.
Saturated adiabetic lapse rate or wet adiabetic lapse rate is the
measure used to escribe the changing temperature of a saturated body of air through
atmosphere due to expansion & the temperatire remains between 0.4 degree celcius to 0.9
degree celcius per 100m ascent of atmosphere by the air parcel.It is always lower than dry
adiabetic lapse rate.
Now! on condensation,saturated adiabetic lapse rate will release
more latent heat since it's air parcel contains more water vapor molecules than the air
parcel undergoing dry adiabetic lapse rate.We know pressure is inversely proportional to
the density.We also know that pressure is inversely proportional to temperature i.e., high
temperature produces low pressure & vice versa.Therefore release of latent heat will
cause volumetric expansion of both the air parcel undergoing diferent adiabatic lapse
rate's.
Since,temperature ,vapour pressure & density are interdependent variables so change in
one or more intermolecular force of atraction so the pressure exerted by the individual
molecules will be lower since they have spread due to volumetric expanson over the large
area which will be more in case of the air parcel undergoing saturated adiabetic lapse
rate ,the density of the aforesaid air pacel willbe lower than the air parcel undergoing dry
adiabeic lapse rate.
If both density & vapour pressure of the air parcel undergoing saturated adiabetic lapse
rate is lower than the air mas under going dry adiabatic lapse rate then the temperature of
the air mass undrgoing saturated adiabatic lapse rate will be more or
greater.Therefore,saturated adiabatic lapse rate will decrease @ 1 degree celcius provided
the elevation has to be more than 100m.This is the reason why dry & wet adiabatic lapse
rate of cooling differ.
