Question

precipitation will increase in areas where there is
a less transpiration and less run - off.
b lower temperatures and more evaporation.
c lower temperatures and less evaporation.
d higher temperatures and more evaporation.

Explanation:

In the water cycle, higher temperatures increase evaporation. More evaporation leads to more water vapor in the atmosphere. When there is more water vapor, there is a greater chance of condensation and precipitation. Lower temperatures would decrease evaporation, reducing the amount of water vapor available for precipitation. Transpiration is related to plants releasing water vapor, but in the context of the options given, evaporation (due to temperature) is a more direct factor. Run - off is the movement of water on land and not directly related to precipitation amount in the way the question is framed.

Answer:

D. higher temperatures and more evaporation.
