How does the process of transpiration contribute to the water cycle?
- It is the primary source of water vapor in the atmosphere (correct)
- It is the process of water seeping into the ground
- It is the formation of clouds in the atmosphere
- It is the process of water evaporating from oceans and lakes
Study Notes
Convection Currents in the Earth's Mantle
- The primary driving force behind convection currents in the Earth's mantle is heat from the Earth's core.
The Water Cycle
- Condensation is the process that involves the conversion of water vapor into liquid water.
- Transpiration, the process by which plants release water vapor into the air, contributes to the water cycle by adding water vapor to the atmosphere.
