The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) is:

A

Greater than the DALR

B

Less than the DALR

Correct
C

Equal to the DALR

D

Constant at all altitudes

Explanation

The SALR (approximately 1.5°C/1000 ft) is less than the DALR because latent heat is released during condensation, slowing the cooling rate.
