What is the superadiabatic lapse rate? (ELR – Environmental Lapse Rate; DALR – Dry adiabatic lapse rate; WALR – Wet adiabatic lapse rate)

What is the superadiabatic lapse rate? (ELR – Environmental Lapse Rate; DALR – Dry adiabatic lapse rate; WALR – Wet adiabatic lapse rate) Correct Answer ELR > DALR

In case of the superadiabatic lapse rate, the environmental lapse rate is greater than the dry adiabatic lapse rate. This phenomenon occurs on warm sunny days when the air close to the earth’s surface is heated.
