Does the water vapor content of the air over a tropical desert exceed that of the air over the polar ice caps?
No, the water vapor content of the air over a tropical desert is typically lower than that over the polar ice caps. The polar regions are generally colder and have lower temperatures, causing the air to hold less water vapor compared to the warm tropical desert regions.
Where will you expect to find lots of water vapor in the air?
You can expect to find lots of water vapor in the air in warm, humid climates, particularly in tropical regions and near large bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, and rivers. Water vapor is also abundant in areas experiencing evaporation, like during hot summer days. Additionally, weather phenomena such as storms and clouds can also indicate higher concentrations of water vapor in the atmosphere.
Why is there high vapor pressure in the tropics?
Vapor pressure is just a measure of water vapor in the air. The amount of moisture air can hold increases rapidly as temperature increases, and it is very warm in the tropics. Additionally, converging air in the tropics tends to generate a lot of rain, which provides plentiful sources for evapotranspiration outside of the tropical oceans.
How is ocean water salinity different in tropical areas than at the north an south poles?
Surface water slainity is higher in tropical regions.
How much oxygen does it take to produce water vapor?
The percentage of oxygen in water, vapors or ice is the same.
What is the percentage range of water vapor in the air?
It ranges from almost none up to almost 4% in some tropical regions.
Does the water vapor content of the air over a tropical desert exceed that of the air over the polar ice caps?
No, the water vapor content of the air over a tropical desert is typically lower than that over the polar ice caps. The polar regions are generally colder and have lower temperatures, causing the air to hold less water vapor compared to the warm tropical desert regions.
What is the highest concentration of the water vapor found in?
The highest concentration of water vapor is typically found in the lower atmosphere, near the Earth's surface. Specific humidity, which measures the actual amount of water vapor present in the air, tends to be highest in humid environments such as tropical regions.
What causes a cirrus cloud to form?
They form when water vapor undergoes deposition at altitudes of 5,000 m (16,500) in temperate regions and 6,100 m (20,000 ft) in tropical regions
Are tropical regions waters cold?
no tropical water means the fish are found in tropical regions which means the water is warm - 21-28 Cece's
Why is it difficult to include water vapor in a graph of the percentage of various gases in the atmosphere?
The amount of water vapor in the air varies considerably depending on climate and weather. In a desert water vapor may account for a tiny fraction of a percent of the air. In a tropical rainforest during a storm water vapor may account for as much as 4% of the air.
Where is the amount of water vapor in the air likely to be the highest-above a desert or a tropical forest?
in a tropical rainforest

Why doesn't Mars have tropical storms?
Tropical storms are fueled by water vapor that evaporates from warm ocean water. This water vapor holds enormous amounts of energy in the form of latent heat. Mars has no oceans and has very little water vapor in its atmosphere, so it cannot sustain such storms.
Where is the amount of water vapor in the air likely to be highest above a desert or tropical rain forest?
The tropical rain forest.
Why is there high vapor pressure in the tropics?
Vapor pressure is just a measure of water vapor in the air. The amount of moisture air can hold increases rapidly as temperature increases, and it is very warm in the tropics. Additionally, converging air in the tropics tends to generate a lot of rain, which provides plentiful sources for evapotranspiration outside of the tropical oceans.
What is in tropical water?
Decaying leaf litter - the water appears black in tropical regions because of this. It also makes the sea where the river mouth is "muddy" and not look like tropical water- this is one of the reasons why coral cannot grow all over the place in equatorial regions
