If the atmospheric air is cooled because of expansion, the cooling is known as

A Adiabatic
B Lapse rate
C Alto-cooling
D Inverse cooling

Correct Answer: Adiabatic

If the atmospheric air is cooled because of expansion, the cooling is known as Adiabatic. An adiabatic process occurs without transfer of heat or mass of substances between a thermodynamic system and its surroundings. In an adiabatic process, energy is transferred to the surroundings only as work.
