There may be less water vapor in the atmosphere due to factors such as decreased evaporation from water sources, changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, or a reduction in human activities that release water vapor into the air, such as industrial processes or transportation.
What else can I help you with?
Why does water vapor decrease?
There is not less water vapour in the atmosphere. In fact, as the earth warms, the warm air is able to hold more water vapour. Water vapour is a greenhouse gas, so the air gets warmer. So it can hold more water vapour. And so on. This is one of what is called the "positive feedbacks" of global warming!
What layer is most responsible for the green house effect?
The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the presence of greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap heat from the sun, leading to warming of the Earth's surface. Thus, the layer most responsible for the greenhouse effect is the troposphere, the lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where most of the greenhouse gases are concentrated.
How does snow happen?
Snow forms when water vapor in the atmosphere freezes into ice crystals. These ice crystals then combine to form snowflakes. When these snowflakes become heavy enough, they fall to the ground as snow.
When heat from the sun causes water to change to a gas or water vapor condensation when water vapor cools and changes into water?
Water change to gas state or water vapour when a heat break bands between molecules, these molecules now are free, but they flow under special pressure(low) when molecules have an accident with any cool surface the instanteneous break in bands return to be more strong to convert vapour to a liquid water again, the pressure now is higher (pressure of water>pressure of air)...
What did scientists hypothesize about earths early atmosphere and the way the ocean was formed?
The first ever atmosphere was hydrogen and helium (they call this the primary atmosphere) because these elements are light they were knocked off due to solar storms (charged particles from the sun) The dense rocks that formed the and the vast temperatures beneath caused many volcanic erupts which spat out carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, methane and water vapour forming the secondary atmosphere, these heavier elements did not get "knocked" off by solar storms. As the surface of the earth began to cool the water vapour in the atmosphere condensed into perciperation(rain) which ultimately over-time continued to cool the earths surface and make the oceans in the depressions in the earths surface. The oceans are salty because they erode away at the rocks and other elements beneath the surface. The ocean and rain began to dissolve the ammonia and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, ultraviolet light shining through the earths atmosphere also broke down water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and broke remaining ammonia that (in effect is too high) to be dissolved by the ocean into nitrogen and hydrogen. The combination of nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen (and of course other small amounts of other elements) is what are atmosphere is now made of. Makes you wonder what could happen to change our atmosphere in the future, let's hope not too dramatically so we have atleast some time to evolve? :p
What will happen if the density of air become less than that of water vapour?
Clouds cannot swim as they do now

Is there more or less water now than when the seas were first formed?
less
How do you find directions on a map?
By looking at where you need to go and seeing where you are at right now and look at the roads or trails to see how to get to your destination
Is the volcano Santorini dormant?
The volcano is an active one; now (I visited the island in September 2010) only some fumaroles with sulphur, carbon dioxide, water vapour.
How is water being conserved right now?
they are using less water instead of using a lot
Why is hot water less dense that cold water?
As water eats up, it expands. There is still the same amount of water, but now in a larger space so it is less dense than cold water.

Write an experiment to show the presence of water vapour in atmosphere?
Take a steel glass and add chilled water in it and few ice cubes. And them simply keep it on a table. You will see after few seconds water is present on outer walls of glass. Thats because water vapour get condensed due to low tempreature.
