Question 1

A hot air balloon ascends in a region with a 1°C/100m environmental lapse rate. If the ground temperature is 25°C, how high can the balloon ascend before its temperature equals the surrounding air temperature?

💡 Hint: Calculate how far it can rise until its temperature matches the ELR.

Question 2

Consider a polluted urban area with a steep environmental lapse rate. What would be the implications for local air quality during peak heat times?

💡 Hint: Analyze the behavior of pollutants in reaction to changing temperature and stability.
