Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Warm lake vapor pressure is higher than cold lake vapor pressure because it evaporates more quickly. In other words, as the temperature of warm water increases, the kinetic energy of the warm water molecule also increases. As the kinetic energy of the warm water molecule increases, the number of molecules conversion into a vapor also increases, thereby increasing the vapor pressure of warm water.
