Idiomatic Expressions for adiabatic

• Phrase: adiabatic lapse rate
  Meaning: The rate at which the temperature of a parcel of air changes as it rises or descends in the atmosphere without exchanging heat with its surroundings.
  Usage: Meteorologists use the adiabatic lapse rate to predict changes in temperature with altitude.
