What happens to the enzyme when it is cooled below its best working temperature?

When an enzyme coola below a temperature where it can work, it denatures (dies).


What layer does the jet stream flow below?

The main jet streams are located near the tropopause, the transition between the troposphere (where temperature decreases with altitude) and the stratosphere(where temperature increases with altitude).


Why isn't dew point always the same?

The dew point is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. As the temperature gets closer to the dew point, the humidity rises. When the temperature finally drops to the dew point (100% humidity), the the atmosphere is completely saturated with water, and it will start to rain (or snow, if the dew point is below freezing). Since the atmosphere is completely saturated when the temperature is at the dew point, it cannot go below the dew point.


What is the temperature when snow falls when humidity air cools below and what degree.?

As snow falls it will evaporate if the surrounding air is drier, and the energy required to turn water or ice into a gas is taken from that air and the air cools. Eventually it cools to saturation, where the temperature and dew point are equal or very nearly so. This temperature - where the dew point and temperature "meet" if you increase the relative humidity to saturation - is the wet bulb temperature.


Why relative humidity increases as temperature decreases and vice versa?

"Relative" humidity means how much water vapor there is in the air compared tohow much the air could hold at that temperature.And warmer air can hold more water vapor. Cooler air can hold less.So ... if there's a certain amount of water vapor in the air, and the air temperaturedrops, the air can now hold less at the reduced temperature, so the amount that'sthere is now a greater fraction of how much the air could hold ... higher relativehumidity.See the link below for the formula of Buck; the effect of temperature is evident.

How does humidity change over 24 hours?

Cold air cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air. As temperature drops relative humidity rises. Absolute humidity remains constant until the dewpoint temperature is reached, then decreases with temperature as water precipitates out of the air. Below the dewpoint temperature relative humidity remains constant at 100%.


When air is cooled what happens to Relative Humidity?

Yes. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor actually in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air (saturation point) at the exisiting temperature. So, if the temperature of the air changes and the amount of water vapor in it does not, the relative humidity will be different. But, if the temperature of the air changes and so does the amount of water vapor in it, then the relative humidity could be the same as before the temperature change. That is to say that the air could contain the same percentage of water vapor that it could hold at each temperature, even though the actual amounts are different.


What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature drops below dew point?

It stays at 100%.


Describe what happens when air is cooled to its dew point?

The dew point is the varying temperature at which atmospheric humidity condenses. If the air temperature drops below the dew point, dew and condensation form.


Can humidity be below freezing?

Usually the humidity is extremely low when the temperature drops below freezing, because almost all of the water is frozen out of the air.


What happens to the temperatures in the troposphere as altitude increases?

The temperature decreases


Can there be relative humidity when the temperature is well below the freezing point?

Yes. Below the freezing point the relative humidity will indicate how close the moisture in the air is to depositing and forming frost or snow.


What happens to the pressure of the earth as depth below the surface increases?

the pressure decreases the pressure increases


What is the dew point and what happens when it falls below the dew point?

The Dew Point is the temperature at which the air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If the temperature fall below the Dew Point, then there is more moisture in the air than it can hold, and water condenses in the form of dew, mist, rain, etc.


What happens to the enzyme when it is cooled below its best working temperature?

When an enzyme coola below a temperature where it can work, it denatures (dies).


What happens is the price falls below the market clearing price and there is no equilibrium?

Quantity of demand increases and supplies decreases.


What happens to boiling point above sea level?

As you go above sea level, the atmospheric pressure decreases, and so the boiling point also decreases to below 100ºC.
