_______ transfers from warm air to cold air until their temperatures become equal
What is energy
An air parcel is warmer than the surrounding air. This is what will happen to the air parcel.
What is the air parcel will rise?
An air parcel rises high into the troposphere.
What is it will lose energy.
Surface water can cause more rainfall because it evaporated and makes the air more humid.
What is true?
