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.
There are two hydrogen atoms in a molecule of water.
Based on the seed experiment in the Poop Lab, the seeds that are expected to sprout are the seed in the elephant poop while the seeds in the soil are not expected to sprout.
<h3>What was the Poop Lab?</h3>
The main idea of the Poop Lab is to compare the growth of seeds that have gone through the digestive system of an animal, in this case, an elephant, to a seed that has not.
The seed that had gone through the digestive system was observed to have sprouted but the seeds in the soil did not. This experiment demonstrates the role animals such as elephants play in shaping the ecosystem through seed dispersal.
The seed that passed through the digestive system of the element and then passed out into the poop received enough nutrients for growth.
However, the seed in the soil does not receive adequate nutrients.
