The level of free convection:
A)is relevant only when discussing absolutely unstable air.
B)occurs below the point where a rising air parcel is cooler than its surroundings.
C)is unrelated to temperature of either the air parcel or its surroundings.
D)is above the lifting condensation level.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The level of free convection (LFC) is the altitude at which a rising air parcel becomes warmer and less dense than the surrounding air, allowing it to rise freely without further mechanical lifting. This level is indeed above the lifting condensation level (LCL), where the air parcel first becomes saturated and cloud formation begins.
