Why does the lapse rate in practice deviate from the constant value of the adiabatic lapse rate?

Why does the lapse rate in practice deviate from the constant value of the adiabatic lapse rate? Correct Answer Cooling effect

Cooling effect and the heating effect may result in deviation from the adiabatic lapse rate. The air may get rapidly heated due to the land, or the opposite may happen. Thus, resulting in the variation.
