What happens to the change in temperature for unsaturated air that is rising when it reaches its saturation point?
A) Latent heat of condensation will be released and will increase the rate of change of temperature for the rising air. B) The saturated air is too heavy to continue to rise, so it begins to sink and will continue to rise and fall until some equilibrium state is achieved. C) It stops rising until it loses water vapor as precipitation. D) It continues to rise and the temperature continues to change in the same way it did before saturation. E) Latent heat of condensation will be released and will decrease the rate of change of temperature for the rising air.
