Question 1
What is the dry adiabatic lapse rate?
- -0.0098 °C/m
- -0.002 °C/m
- -0.1 °C/m
💡 Hint: Remember the rule of thumb for temperature decrease with altitude.
Question 2
True or False: The mixing height is the highest point where pollutants disperse effectively.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: Think of mixing height as the effective boundary for dispersion.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A pollutant source emits gases at 10 meters height. If the surrounding atmospheric lapse rate is -0.006 °C/m, calculate the mixing height and discuss the implications for dispersion.
💡 Hint: Recall how the mixing height is defined when lapse rates intersect.
Question 2
Discuss how changing environmental conditions (temperature inversion) might alter expected plume behavior for a factory emitting pollutants on a warm day.
💡 Hint: Visualize the inversions as a lid restricting upward air movement.
