Answer #1

Air rises adiabatically

so

when air rises, its temperature decreases

when air subsides, its temperature increases

when the temperature of a parcel of air decreases, its relative humidity increases

when the temperature of a parcel of air increases, its relative humidity decreases

the normal environmental lapse rate applies to still air

the dry adiabatic lapse rate applies to rising air, when the relative humidity is below 100%

the dry adiabatic lapse rate also applies to air that is subsiding, if there is no moisture present, and no evaporation is taking place
