QUESTION:

On a sunny day, large “bubbles” of air form on the sun-warmed earth, gradually expand, and finally break free to rise through the atmosphere. Soaring birds and glider pilots are fond of using these “thermals” to gain altitude easily. This expansion is essentially an adiabatic process. Why?
