How does lapse rate in the troposphere affect weather formation?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It affects air stability and uplift
Lapse rate means the rate at which air temperature decreases with increasing altitude. It governs buoyancy and atmospheric stability: a parcel of warm air may rise, cool, condense, and help form clouds when conditions are favourable. Thus option A is correct. The other options concern neither the thermal structure of the troposphere nor the direct process of weather formation.
