List and explain several processes by which an unstable atmosphere can be made stable.?

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: ?The atmosphere tends to become more stable as the air aloft warms or the surface air cools. If the air aloft is being replaced by warmer air (warm advection), and the surface air is not changing appreciably, the environmental lapse rate decreases and the air becomes stable. Similarly, if the surface air cools and the aloft air temperature remains relatively constant, the air becomes more stable.
