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.

A geologist observes abundant fossils of a distinctive trilobite species in a shale, but this trilobite disappears as she walks through the shale
In younger rocks, just above the horizon where the fossil disappears another species of trilobite becomes the prominent fossil in similar shales. Which conclusion is most logical for this observation? A) A hurricane or other catastrophe killed all of the early species so the other species could move in. B) The second, trilobite group in the upper section went extinct where the change in fossils is seen. C) The organisms whose remains form the first fossil moved from the area for unknown reasons. D) The first trilobite species went extinct and its ecological niche was occupied by another species, which may have evolved from the first.
