Which sequence of events affecting moist air within Earth's atmosphere causes cloud formation?

(1) rising expanding cooling condensation

(2) rising contracting warming evaporation

(3) sinking expanding warming condensation

(4) sinking contracting cooling evaporation

The correct answer is - (1) rising expanding cooling condensation.

At first there's the evaporation of water, since the water vapor is less dense than the air it rises up and starts to expend as it goes further upwards in the atmosphere. Once it reaches the upper layers of the troposphere than the cooling process starts because the temperature is decreasing with the altitude. Because of the cooling the process of condensation will start taking place and thus the formation of clouds were the water vapor returns to liquid form and creates rain. The cycle repeats its self all the time.

The question is asking to choose among the following choices that states the sequence of events affecting moist air within Earth's atmosphere causes cloud formation and in my further research, the answer would be (1) rising expanding cooling condensation. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
