Answer:
Clouds form when air reaches its dew point temperature and water vapor condenses on condensation nuclei. ... Adiabatic processes are due to the expansion and contraction of an air parcel as it ascends or descends in the atmosphere.

Answer:
Cumulus cloud formation. When the sun heats the ground it causes air on the ground to expand and rise. In expanding the rising parcel of air pushes the surrounding air and expends energy in doing so. It cools as a result. Because air is such a poor conductor of heat energy there is to all intents and purposes no heat exchange between the parcel and the surrounding air. The definition of an adiabatic is the process of expanding and contracting without exchanging heat.
