Question

If water vapor continues to increase in our atmosphere, what changes would you expect in fresh water lakes?

A: lake temperatures will decrease, but dissolved oxygen in water will increase.
B: lake temps will decrease along with dissolved oxygen.
C: lake temps will increase, but dissolved oxygen will decrease.
D: lake temps will increase along with dissolved oxygen.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C

Answer 2

Answer: Option (C)

Explanation:

Temperature and dissolved oxygen is inversely proportional to each other i.e if temperature is high then dissolved oxygen will be low and if temperature is low then dissolved oxygen will be high.

Thus, we can conclude that when the water vapor content increases in the atmosphere, the lake temperature eventually will rise whereas the dissolved oxygen will get subsequently reduced.

Hence the correct option is (C)
