Question

2. Which body of water does not directly contribute water vapor into the atmosphere?

Answer 1

Answer:

a) aquifers

Explanation:

Looking at the answers choices, 3 of the answers have something in common. Oceans, rivers, and lakes all have their surfaces exposed to the atmosphere—including the direct path to the sun. This means that they evaporate the most into the atmosphere.

Aquifers are underground wells, meaning they only evaporate slightly into the atmosphere due to high levels of heat energy. However, they stay mostly underground and are not in the direct path of the sun's energy.

Answer 2

Answer:

Water vapor is the gaseous phase of liquid water. Aquifers are the water body that does not directly contribute water vapor into the atmosphere.

What is Aquifers?

Aquifers are the water content or the water body of the underground level that is present between the rocks and soils. The water from the aquifers is pulled using the water wells and pumps.

As the water is stored underground the heat of the sun cannot evaporate the water and cannot convert them into water vapor. Whereas, rivers, oceans, and lakes have open surfaces from where the water can get evaporated.

Therefore, option A. aquifers do not directly contribute to the formation of the water vapor.
