Consider the dry adiabatic rate of DAR=10 Co/1000m, and the moist rate of MAR=6 Co/1000m

1. By how many degrees does air cool if it rises dry adiabatically from sea level to the top of the coastal range mountains (about 800 meters)?
2. If cloudy air rises moist adiabatically 800 meters, how much would its temperature change be?
3.Why, specifically, does the temperature change at a different rate for these two situations?
