Why Is There A Difference Between The Dry And Moist Adiabatic Lapse Rate? [Solved]

Why are the moist and dry adiabatic rates of cooling different? The moist adiabatic lapse rate is less than the dry adiabatic lapse rate because moist air rising condenses out its water vapor (once saturation is attained).
