Question 2
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Soil releases more water into the air at night
All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.
Correct!
Warmer air has a greater capacity to hold water vapor, while cooler air holds less water vapor.
Plants release more water into the air at night.
This is the best answer.
Question 3
0.34 / 0.34 pts
All of the other answers are correct, and thus this is the best answer.
Temperature does not affect the ability of air to hold water vapor
Correct!
Warmer air can hold more water vapor.
Colder air can hold more water vapor
This is the best answer.
Question 4
0.34 / 0.34 pts
Spring in the mountain generate moisture to form clouds.
Correct!
The air is chilled when it is forced to rise as the air encounters the mountain. This chilling decreases the capacity of
air to hold water vapor, and eventually the relative humidity reaches 100% -- leading to condensation and cloud
formation.
The trees mix with the air to form clouds.
Snow on the ground generates enough moisture to form clouds.
This is the best answer
Why does relative humidity increase at night and decrease during the day?
How does temperature affect the ability of air to hold water vapor?
Why would air moving against a mountain cause the formation of clouds?

It is the amount of solid water in air, typically measured in grams per cubic meter.
It is the amount of humidity in the air, typically measured in a percent of the total amount that could be held by the
atmosphere.
This is the best answer.
