Question

The climate of a place also depends upon the amount of water in the air. How do the rising temperatures around Earth affect the amount of water in the air? A) The water in the air evaporates because the temperature of air is rising. B) There is more water in the air because the rate of evaporation increases. C) The water in the air decreases because the water on Earth starts evaporating. D) There is less water in the air because the evaporated water falls down as rain.

Answer 1

Answer:

B) There is more water in the air because the rate of evaporation increases

Explanation:

As the temperatures rise across the globe, the rate of evaporation also increases, resulting in more water in the air. The reason for the increased evaporation is that the ice sheets and glaciers are melting, thus there's more liquid water. The more liquid water there is, the more evaporation there will be. As the evaporation increases, there will be an increase in the formation of clouds, thus there will be more precipitation around the world, gradually leading to warmer and wetter climate.
