What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than water vapor in the air?
What would happen if the air in the upper atmosphere were warmer than water vapor in the air?
Condensation could not occur and there would not be any precipitation.
Do rain puddles disappear quicker on a cloudy day or clear day and why?
Do rain puddles disappear quicker on a cloudy day or clear day and why?
Clear day because the sun's heat helps with evaporation.
If plants and animals lived forever, what would happen to the Earth's soil?
If plants and animals lived forever, what would happen to the Earth's soil?
Nothing would die and decay, so there would be less nitrates returning to the soil.
