This year's string of record-breaking disasters—from deadly wildfires and catastrophic floods to record-high ocean temperatures and record-low sea ice in Antarctica—seems like an acceleration of human-induced climate change.
Water vapor is the gaseous form of water and it exists naturally in the atmosphere. It is invisible to the
This process is important for our planet, too, because about 70% of Earth's surface is water, predominantly ocean. Extra heat generally goes into evaporating water. Plants also release water vapor through a process called transpiration . The combined process is called evapotranspiration. The expansion and cooling of air as it rises creates clouds, rain and snow. This vigorous hydrological cycle means water vapor molecules only last a few days in the atmosphere.
Precipitation is vitally important. It nourishes vegetation and supports various ecosystems as long as the rate is moderate. But as the climate warms, higher moisture levels increase the potential for heavier rainfall and the risk of flooding.
