Solution

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2
Explanation:

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Lapse Rate is the rate at which temperature changes with height in the Atmosphere. Lapse rate nomenclature is inversely related to the change itself: if the lapse rate is positive, the temperature decreases with height; conversely if negative, the temperature increases with height.

Statement 2 is incorrect: The dry lapse rate is more than the wet lapse rate. The dry lapse rate is about 10℃ whereas the wet lapse rate is about 5℃.
