Question

Areas of the Earth near the equator receive large amounts of solar energy. How does this lead to increased rainfall?

A.
The solar energy provides the energy for water to evaporate.
B.
The solar energy allows plants to complete photosynthesis reactions.
C.
The solar energy heats the air, which causes water vapor to condense.
D.
The solar energy creates wind, which pushes clouds from the poles to the equator.

Answer 1

The solar energy provides the energy for water to evaporate.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Hello!

Your answer is A, the solar energy provides the energy for water to evaporate. (this energy being heat)

The reason for this is, the sun creates light, and with light comes heat. Heat causes water to evaporate into steam, and when it reaches higher points in the atmosphere, the pressure causes it to compress into what we call clouds. when these clouds become too large, They release the cooled steam as rain.

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!
