Does water vapor have natural sources and if so what are they

@mhanifa

Laylay333:

Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, both by weight and by volume. Water vapor is also an effective greenhouse gas, as it does absorb longwave radiation and radiates it back to the surface, thus contributing to warming. If you wanna know more, the website is below: https://climatechangeconnection.org/science/what-about-water-vapour/

lifewmylilweeb:

that doesnt help

lifewmylilweeb:

The question is asking if water vapor has natural sources

heartlover:

Water vapor can be produced from the evaporation or boiling of liquid water or from the sublimation of ice. Water vapor is transparent, like most constituents of the atmosphere. Under typical atmospheric conditions, water vapor is continuously generated by evaporation and removed by condensation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vapor#:~:text=Water%20vapor%20can%20be%20produced,evaporation%20and%20removed%20by%20condensation. Earth's greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere and warm the planet. The main gases responsible for the greenhouse effect include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and water vapor (which all occur naturally), and fluorinated gases (which are synthetic). https://www.nrdc.org/stories/greenhouse-effect-101#:~:text=Earth's%20greenhouse%20gases%20trap%20heat,gases%20(which%20are%20synthetic). Idk if these will help in any way.

heartlover:

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas.

lifewmylilweeb:

it a yes or no question

lifewmylilweeb:

does it have natural sources

heartlover:

I think it does. Since it's a nonhydrocarbon gas.

lifewmylilweeb:

do you know what they are

Wikipedia isn't a good source because anyone can edit it. Just sayin.

heartlover:

I know wikipedia is biased and many people can edit factual information. I overread everything and checked. It is in fact factual.

lifewmylilweeb:

what are water vapor's natural sources

Fel213:

1. carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by cell respiration in living organisms and also by combustion of biomass and fossil fuel 2. water vapour is formed by evaporation from the oceans and also transpiration in plants

lifewmylilweeb:

so water vapor does have natural sources

lifewmylilweeb:

?

dqeywhdcyr:

uhhhh...........

Fel213:

The water in the atmosphere is due to evaporation of water during the water cycle. In the atmosphere, water exists as a gas (water vapor from evaporation), as a liquid (droplets of rain), and as a solid (snow and ice).

lifewmylilweeb:

SO WHAT ARE ITS NATURAL SOURCES

lifewmylilweeb:

yk what nevermind

lifewmylilweeb:

thank you

dqeywhdcyr:

nvm

dqeywhdcyr:

i was bout to cus all yall out but nvm

lifewmylilweeb:

why
