Water vapour in the atmosphere helps in which thermal effect?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Greenhouse effect
Water vapour is a naturally occurring greenhouse gas and an important part of Earth’s heat-regulating system. It absorbs some outgoing infrared radiation and re-emits heat, helping retain energy in the lower atmosphere. Therefore, option D is correct. Earthquakes and magnetism are unrelated to atmospheric water vapour, while tides are mainly caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun.
