The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) is:

Q: The saturated adiabatic lapse rate (SALR) is:

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

Greater than the DALR

Less than the DALR

Equal to the DALR

Constant at all altitudes

Less than the DALR✓ Correct Answer

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.
