Question 12 Not yet answered Marked out of 1.00 Flag question Why is the air extremely stable when there's an inversion? Select one: O a. A parcel of air forced to rise would be warmer and more dense than the surrounding air O b. A parcel of air forced to rise would be warmer and less dense than the surrounding alr. O c. A parcel of air forced to rise would be colder and less dense than the surrounding air O d. A parcel of air forced to rise would be colder and more dense than the surrounding air

Explanation / Answer

Answer : b. A parcel of air forced to rise would be warmer and less dense than the surrounding air. Explanation : Temperature inversion occurs in the troposphere . In this stage, due to increase in temperature , density decreases due to increase in volume and mass decreases, thereby forcing the air parcel to lift above the colder air mass. In this level the air parcel is stable.
