The capacity of the air to hold water vapor: Group of answer choices 1. decreases with an increase in temperature.2. increases with a decrease in temperature.3. increases with an increase in temperature.4. increases with an increase in pressure.

Answered by maham237 @



Answer:

3. increases with an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

The air more water vapor at higher temperatures because at higher temperatures the air expands and the inter-molecular space increases so the room for water molecules increases.

Warm air keeps the water molecules warm and prevents them from condensing.

The air can hold the moisture only upto its saturation quantity after which the precipitation occurs in the form of rain, snow, hail, sleet etc.
