Air has more capacity to hold water at what?
Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.
Why can a ship load more in the summer than winter?
in summer water is warm as warm water provides less buoyancy being less dense than cold water
Why does warmer air hold more moisture in the air?
It's not really accurate to say that warm air can hold more moisture. It would be better to say that warm air provides a more conducive environment for gaseous water to be in than does cold air. The reason that water is found in a vaporous form is that the water molecules have enough energy to be in that form. If the molecules are colder (have less energy) they will be solids and liquids. Warm air transfers its energy to the solid and liquid water molecules, helping them achieve a gaseous state. Warm air -> more energy -> more energy for water molecules -> more gaseous water.
Why do some soils hold more water than others?
yes, indrictly. the weight of the soil is a function of its composition meaning the percentage of: sand, silt, clay. the composition determines how much water it can hold. roughly the more clay it has the more water it can hold but at the same time it slows the rate of water absurbsion
Why is there less erosion when there is more vegetation?
Plant roots help hold the soil in place and also absorb water so there is less runoff.
Can warm air hold less water vapor than cold air?
no, warm air holds more water vapour than cold air
Can hot air or cold air hold more water?
warm air hold more water vapor...unless it doesnt like sandwiches between its toes at 5 o'clock in the after noon
Is very cold water more or less dense than less cold water?
Water is at its greatest density at 4 oC.
Why does cold air hold more water?
It doesn't. Warm air can hold more water, as it has more energy to retain water in a gaseous state.
Air has more capacity to hold water at what?
Air has more capacity to hold water when the air is warmer. The colder the air is, the less water it can hold.
When the temperature decreases the air can hold more or less water?
Less.
Is cold water more or less dense than warm water?
cold ocean waer has more dense than warm water.
What type of water is more dense cold salty water or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
What type of water is more dense cold salty water warm or less salty?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
What type of water is more dense cold salty or warm less salty water?
Cold salty water will be the most dense.
Can hot or cold water hold more salt?
Hot water will hold more salt than cold water, because solubility of solids is proportional to temperature. That is, it increases with temperature.
Do higher temperatures hold more or less water vapor?
More, to make it snow, since the air is so cold, you would need a large body of hot air over the cold air to make the moisture turn into rain.
