Why is there a greater concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere during the summer rather than the winter?

Evaporation is driven by heat. In warmer weather, more water will evaporate. In colder weather, more water will condense and return to a liquid phase.

Island that is in the Greater Antilles but not a country but rather a part of a country?
Haiti is the answer
What advantage is there to making graduated cylinders narrow and tall rather than short and wide?
Greater accuracy in reading them.
What is the only country in the greater Antilles completely surrounded by the Caribbean?
Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. (Also, Puerto Rico is an island in the Greater Antilles, but not an independent country. Rather, PR is a territory of the United States.)
What is a detainment camp?
A detainment camp is a large detention center created for political opponents, enemy aliens, people with mental illness, specific ethnic or religious groups, civilians of a critical war-zone, or other groups of people, usually during a war. The term is used for facilities where inmates selected according to some specific criteria, rather than individuals who are incarcerated after due process of law fairly applied by a judiciary. Much like a Concentration Camp.
Why is hairspray bad for the environment?
Many hairsprays (and other products which spray something) use compounds called chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs, as the pressuriser. These chemicals when released into the atmosphere can produce chlorine, which destroys ozone. Ozone is rather necesssary for the continuation of life on Earth, so hairsprays are bad for the environment.
Why is nitrogen's maximum level in the Atmosphere?
Nitrogen makes up 78% of our atmosphere and the atmosphere contains 3,346,200,000,000,000,000 cubic meters of nitrogen. Because nitrogen is a gas it tends to gather in the atmosphere rather then say, stay trapped underground. That is why its maximum concentration is in the atmosphere. It's a good thing there is so much in our atmosphere too. Without it, the earth would get pummeled by gamma rays from our sun. This could turn the earth into a radioactive wasteland.
What was the atmosphere like at the last supper?
The atmosphere was rather quiet and uncertain.
What type of energy is transmitted through the atmosphere?
Through the atmosphere rather than by the atmosphere, then that would be electromagnetic energy.
How is use atmosphere in a sentence?
After the argument had petered out, the atmosphere between the couple was rather frosty!
Why is the noon solar intensity greater on the summer solstice than on the winter solstice?
The sun angle is greater during the summer solstice. This is because the Earth is tilted toward the sun rather than away from it.
Why does a higher concentration make a reaction go faster?
When the concentration of a solution increases, the particles are moving quicker as they have more energy. This results in more collisions between the substrate and the solution, thus resulting in an increased rate of reaction. Even if the particles are moving at the same speed, with a higher concentration, there is a higher probability of colliding with another reactant molecule rather than a solvent molecule.
Does pH control the relative concentration of CO2 in water?
No. Rather, the CO2 concentration controls the pH. Other factors control concentration, such as temperature, pressure, contamination, and availability of CO2.
What might happen to the earth's surface and atmosphere if the input of solar energy were greater than what was released back into space?
we would all suffocate if we dont get the oxygen (o2) from the atmosphere so it would be like we were in the ozone layer. Quite simply, the Earth would get hotter. The consequences would be complex and rather unpleasant.
How much greater is a centimeter than a decameter?
It is 0.001 times greater, or rather 10,000 times smaller
Is negative 18 greater then negative 10?
no. its like would you rather owe someone 18 dollars or would you rather owe someone 10 dollars. so -10 is greater
Explain why burning biodiesel fuel has a differen impact pn atmospheric CO2 concentrations than does burning fossil fuels?
Biodiesel contains carbon that was recently present in the atmosphere rather than fossil-fuel carbon that was in the atmosphere long ago and has been sequestered beneath Earth's surface. Hence the burning of biodiesel does not contribute to a net increase in the amount of carbon dioxide currently circulating in the atmosphere, whereas the burning of fossil fuel does contribute to a net increase in the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
How do CO2 and O2 move in and out of a plant leaf?
If you take a cross-section of a leaf and magnify it several times, you will see tiny pores on the underside. These holes are called stomata, and gaseous transfer takes place here, with carbon dioxide and oxygen entering and circulating inside the leaf. Waste gases from photosynthesis and respiration leave through the stomata as well. The oxygen diffuses out of the leaf because the concentration of oxygen is greater outside rather than inside the leaf (diffusion is the random movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration), down the concentration gradient. Likewise, the carbon dioxide diffuses into the cell because the concentration of carbon dioxide is greater outside the leaf than inside.
