Question

identifying prevailing winds’ effect on weather and climate
which factor is present in higher amounts in winds that come from oceans than winds that come from land?
○ air pressure
○ cool air
○ warm air
○ water vapor

Explanation:

Oceans have a large amount of water, so winds from oceans pick up more water vapor through evaporation. Air pressure isn't inherently higher in ocean - sourced winds. Oceans can have warm or cool water, but the key difference in terms of a factor present in higher amounts is water vapor compared to land - sourced winds (land has less water for evaporation). Cool or warm air depends on ocean temperature, but water vapor is consistently higher in ocean - derived winds.

Answer:

D. water vapor
