Question
As shown in the image below, transpiration releases water vapor into the air just like evaporation does, but transpiration depends on what organisms?
There is no image provided, but I can still answer your question. Transpiration is the process by which plants release water vapor into the atmosphere through small openings called stomata on their leaves. Therefore, transpiration depends on plants or any other organisms that possess stomata, such as some types of algae.

A weather front is an area where two air masses meet, which of the following weather fronts would you expect to result in a thunderstorm?(1 point)
Responses
A cool air mass moving into an area with a cool air mass already resulting in a large cool air mass.
A cool air mass moving into an area with a cool air mass already resulting in a large cool air mass.
A cool air mass moving into an area with a warmer air mass.
A cool air mass moving into an area with a warmer air mass.
Cooler air rising and warm air sinking.
Cooler air rising and warm air sinking.
A warm air mass moving into an area where there is already a warm air mass resulting in a massive warm air mass.
