Question

Review the water cycle diagram below. What would be the effect on the mountains if the ocean were not nearby?

A. Condensation rates would increase dramatically.
B. Vapor pressure and atmospheric pressure would increase.
C. Snowmelt runoff would increase slightly.
D. There would be much less precipitation and evaporation.

Answer 1

D

Step-by-step explanation:

I just the flvs test.

Answer 2

D. There would be much less precipitation and evaporation.

Much of the precipitation comes from the evaporation of water from the ocean and posterior condensations into clouds that go over the mountains. If the mountains were to be far from the ocean, there would be much less precipitation and, therefore, evaporation also.
