Answer:
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, which absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.
Explanation:
Water vapor is formed through a process called evaporation. In this process, water from the ocean, rivers, and lakes evaporates to become water vapor using the energy from the sun. Water vapor also moves into the atmosphere by transpiration (plants) and sublimation (snow and ice).
The water vapor cools down and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation, as it rises high in the atmosphere where the air is cooler. This water droplets that formed by condensation make up clouds.
When the earth’s surface get heated by the sunlight, some of the heat radiates back into the atmosphere and most of this heat is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere called green house gases. This process is called greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm. The green house gases mainly consists of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Water vapor absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is directly proportional to the temperature. When addition of the other greenhouse gases causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates and this leads to an increase in water vapor which further increases the atmospheric temperature since water vapor is a greenhouse gas. So, water vapor is part of a positive feedback system.
Based on my observations, I can conclude that lithospheric motion of the South American plate with the Nazca plate and the African plate causes the earthquakes to engage nearest to volcanic activity causing it to either erupt the volcano, or increase the damage caused by the volcano.
Answer:
mitosis
Explanation:
mitosis occurs after DNA in the nucleus has doubled
The answer is hydrolysis.
The word hydrolysis comes from two Greek words:
hydro - water
lysis - to unbind
So, hydrolysis is a reaction of breaking apart (unbinding) large molecules using water. For example, sucrose or table sugar is disaccharide made of two monosaccharides: fructose and glucose. Hydrolysis of sucrose means that water molecule break apart sucrose, i.e. unbind fructose and glucose.
Answer:
Autotrophs.
Explanation:
Autotrophs may be defined as the organisms that can prepare their own food. The autotrophic organism do not depend on the other organisms for their food.
Plants are considered as autotrophs because they can prepare their own food. The autotrophs uses sunlight to convert the water and carbon dioxide into food and oxygen.
Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
