3. what conditions could have caused storm 1 to have more rainfall than storm 2? before storm 1, rochelle could have been: a warmer than before storm 2 and windy. wind pushed more water vapor out of the warmer air parcel. b warmer than before storm 2 and windy. wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy. c cooler than before storm 2 and windy. wind caused the cooler air from above the air parcel to move down, causing the cooler air parcel at the surface to lose more energy. d cooler than before storm 2 and windy. wind pushed the cooler air parcel even higher and the air parcel gained more energy.
Answer
Brief Explanations:
Warmer air can hold more water - vapor. Wind pushing the warmer air parcel higher causes it to cool and condense more water - vapor, leading to more rainfall. In option (b), a warmer air parcel before Storm 1 compared to Storm 2 and wind pushing it higher results in more energy loss as it rises and cools, leading to more condensation and rainfall.
Answer:
B. warmer than before Storm 2 and windy. Wind pushed the warmer air parcel even higher and the air parcel lost more energy.
