Question 7 • $2526: SEM 1: 2003310: Physical Science: NEW

Which best explains why a thick tropical forest filled with large plants typically has a lot of water vapor in the air?

Answer
A
The plants undergo transpiration.
B
The plants undergo condensation.
C
The plants prevent water from evaporating.
D
The plants prevent water from becoming runoff.

Explanation

Plants release water vapor into the air through transpiration, mainly from tiny openings in their leaves. A thick forest has many large plants, so their combined transpiration adds a lot of water vapor to the air. Condensation turns water vapor into liquid droplets; it does not explain how vapor gets into the air.
