Brandy has built a computer model of a weather system. She has included information about bodies of water, the Sun, and the atmosphere. Brandy decides to decrease the amount of atmospheric water vapor in her model. How will this likely affect the precipitation in her model?

Question

A.
It will rain constantly.
B.
There will be less precipitation.
C.
The precipitation will not change.
D.
There will be more precipitation.

Answer 1

B. There will be less precipitation.

Decreasing the amount of atmospheric water vapor in her model would likely result in less precipitation, as there would be less moisture available in the atmosphere for clouds to form and release rain.
