Which statement correctly links water vapour with both weather and climate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It is linked with clouds, rainfall and the greenhouse effect.
Water vapour connects short-term weather and long-term climate processes. In weather, cooling causes water vapour to condense into cloud droplets or ice crystals, which can produce precipitation. In climate, water vapour absorbs outgoing long-wave radiation and acts as an important greenhouse gas. Thus A correctly includes both roles; B, C and D misidentify its nature or presence.
