| |Meaning=A process in which a system does not interact with its surroundings by virtue of a [[temperature]] difference between them.
| |
| |Explanation=In an adiabatic process any change in [[internal energy]] (for a system of fixed mass) is solely a consequence of working. For an [[ideal gas]] and for most atmospheric systems, compression results in warming, expansion results in cooling. <br/>''See'' [[dry-adiabatic process]], [[moist-adiabatic process]].
