Where is most of the water vapor and carbon dioxide in earths atmosphere found?
Upper Part
What two gases absorb the most heat in the lower atmosphere?
Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide
Water vapor makes up hat fraction of atmospheric gases?
The amount of water vapor in atmospheric gases is highly variable. More water vapor is found at lower altitudes, at 30,000 feet there is virtually no water vapor. There is a maximum of 4% water vapor in the atmosphere at any time.
What is the water atmosphere?
vapor
Water vapor is added to the atmosphere primarily by what?
Water vapor is added to the atmosphere primarily by evaporation from bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Evapotranspiration from plants also contributes to the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.
What processes return water vapor to the atmosphere?
The main processes that return water vapor to the atmosphere are evaporation and transpiration. Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapor from sources such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Transpiration is the process through which plants release water vapor from their leaves into the atmosphere. Both of these processes contribute to the water cycle by replenishing the atmosphere with water vapor.
What two characteristics of this layer make it possible to retain this much water vapor on earth?
The two characteristics of the atmosphere that allow it to retain water vapor on Earth are temperature and pressure. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air, and higher pressure air can hold more water vapor than lower-pressure air. This combination allows for the retention of significant amounts of water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere.
What two process add water vapor to the atmosphere?
Evaporation, where water on the Earth's surface turns into water vapor, and transpiration, where plants release water vapor through their leaves, both add water vapor to the atmosphere.
Why there are few clouds or no clouds in the stratosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the stratosphere is much lower than in the lower atmosphere. The condensation of water vapor is what creates clouds (and rain, hail, snow, and other forms of precipitation) Also because weather occurs in the troposphere, and clouds are formed from water vapor, which is part of the water cycle, which is part of weather
What is the term for gaseous water in the atmosphere?
Water vapor
What is the most form of water in the atmosphere?
Water vapor
What layer contains the most water vapor?
The layer of the atmosphere that contains the most water vapor is the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere where most weather phenomena occur. Water vapor concentration decreases with height in the atmosphere as temperature decreases.
