Why would latent heat transfer weaken without atmospheric water vapour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because water vapour takes and releases heat during phase changes
Latent heat is energy absorbed or released during a change of state without an immediate change in temperature. Atmospheric water vapour absorbs energy during evaporation and releases that stored energy when it condenses into liquid water or deposits as ice. This transfer powers convection, cloud development and parts of the hydrological cycle. Without water vapour, these phase-change pathways would be greatly reduced. Nitrogen does not normally perform this role, dust is not the water cycle, and ozone is not a raindrop.
