At which of the following temperatures could air hold the greatest amount of water vapor?
It is warmer than the mesosphere because the stratosphere contains the ozone layer.
calm weather, as air sinks
72
by causing cold air to sink and warm air to rise
a cold front has passed
isotherms
it causes winds to rotate to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
Air over land heats faster than air over water, which causes convection
