The term 'adiabatic process' in meteorology refers to:
A. Heat transfer through conduction
B. Heat transfer through radiation
C. Temperature change without heat exchange with the environment
D. Temperature change with heat exchange
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
An adiabatic process is one in which a parcel of air changes temperature without exchanging heat with its surroundings. As air rises, it expands and cools (adiabatic cooling); as it descends, it compresses and warms (adiabatic warming).

Explanation:
The rain shadow region of the Eastern Ghats receives low rainfall because the mountains block the moisture-laden winds from the Bay of Bengal.
Explanation:
