Question

Examine the factors influencing the amount of water in the Atmosphere.

Answer 1

Answer: Atmosphere is a mixture of gases. It includes water in the gaseous form that is in the form of water vapors.

Explanation:

The following are the factors that affect the amount of water available in the atmosphere:

1. Rate of evaporation of water from the terrestrial and aquatic regions. Faster the rate of evaporation more will be the concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere this is influenced by heat and radiation provided by the sun.

2. Rain and other precipitation: The moisture in the air condense in the higher atmospheric layers and rain and other forms of precipitation fall down the water will become the part of hydrosphere rather than atmosphere.

3. Rate of transpiration: The transpiration is a process that occurs in plant in which the plants lose their water content through small pores on the leaves and stems into the atmosphere. Faster the rate of respiration more water content or moisture will be present in the atmosphere.
