| Question 1: If the air is at the ________, then the rate at which temperature drops with height is called the saturated adiabatic lapse rate. | |||
|
|
| Question 2: The word troposphere derives from the Greek: tropos for "turning" or "mixing," reflecting the fact that ________ mixing plays an important role in the troposphere's structure and behavior. | |||

|
| Question 3: The rate at which temperature decreases with height under such conditions is called the adiabatic ________. | |||
|
|
| Question 4: Since the heat exchanged dQ is related to the ________ change dS by dQ=T dS, the equation governing the temperature as a function of height for a thoroughly mixed atmosphere is | |||
|

| Question 6: The source of water vapor is at the surface through the processes of ________ and transpiration. | |||
|
|
| Question 7: The rate at which the temperature decreases, − dT / dz, is called the ________. | |||
|
|
| Question 8: The chemical composition of the troposphere is essentially uniform, with the notable exception of ________. | |||
|
|
| Question 9: The lowest part of the troposphere, where ________ with the Earth's surface influences air flow, is the planetary boundary layer. | |||
|
|
| Question 10: At the poles, the troposphere is thinner and the temperature only decreases to -45°C, while at the ________ the temperature at the top of the troposphere can reach -75°C. | |||
