Describe the general topography of the region between Clinch Mountain and Powell Mountain.
The following questions are based on Map T-6, the “Johnson City, Tennessee-Virginia-Kentucky- North Carolina” topographic map (scale 1:250,000; contour interval 100 feet). This map shows a portion of the Appalachian Mountains at the Tennessee, Kentucky, and Virginia border 136°39'30"N, 83°01'05"W). Figure 41-4 is a satellite image of this same region (to view this image, scan the QR code for this exercise or go to the Hess Laboratory Manual website and Exercise 41).

On the lee side of the mountain, is the relative humidity of the parcel increasing or decreasing as it descends from 6000 feet to sea level? Why?
Assume that a parcel of air is forced to rise up and over a 6000-foot-high mountain (as shown). The initial temperature of the parcel at sea level is 76.5°F, and the lifting condensation level (LCL) of the parcel is 3000 feet. The DAR is 5.5°F>1000 feet and the SAR is 3.3°F>1000 feet. Assume that condensation begins at 100% relative humidity and that no evaporation takes place as the parcel descends. Indicate calculated temperatures to 1 decimal place.
