As the amount of water vapor in the air increases, a) the temperature increases b) the relative humidity increases c) the temperature decreases d) the relative humidity decreases
Added by Frank S.
Step 1
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that the air can hold at a particular temperature. Now, if the amount of water vapor in the air increases, it means that the air is getting more Show more…

When rising humid air starts to condense, why does its temperature change less rapidly with increasing elevation? (a) Its density increases, making it more difficult to change temperature. (b) Thermal energy released during condensation causes less thermal energy change. (c) The gas expands less, causing less negative work. (d) The temperature of the surrounding air is changing less.
