Question
please answer question 5
### Atmospheric Science: Air Pressure and Cloud Formation **4. Describe what happens to air pressure as altitude in the troposphere increases.** *Your answer:* **5. Explain how clouds form in the atmosphere as moist air rises (there are 3 processes after rising).** *Your answer:* Cl Below the text, there is a diagram illustrating the process of cloud formation and the effects of orographic lift. **Diagram Explanation:** - **Prevailing Wind**: Arrows show the direction of the prevailing wind moving towards a mountain range. - **Mountain Range**: A mountain range is depicted in the center, causing air to be uplifted. - **Wet (windward side)**: The side of the mountain facing the prevailing wind is labeled as "Wet (windward side)". - **Dry (leeward side)**: The side of the mountain away from the prevailing wind is labeled as "Dry (leeward side)". - **Clouds and Rain**: Clouds form on the windward side of the mountain, where the air is cooling and condensing. This is indicated by cloud illustrations and rain symbols. - **Rain Shadow**: The area on the leeward side of the mountain, labeled "Rain shadow," is dry due to descending air warming up and losing its moisture. This diagram helps to visually explain the process of orographic lift, where moist air rises over a mountain, cools and condenses on the windward side to form clouds and precipitation, and descends on the leeward side, leaving it dry.
