Question

In terrestrial areas, temperature and rainfall are affected by_______.

Answer 1

Transpiration:

1. The increase in water vapour content in the atmosphere in terrestrial habitats is due to transpiration.
2. Water vapour is a significant greenhouse gas, and greater concentrations of water vapour result in temperature maintenance due to the greenhouse effect. Cloud formation is caused by the loss of water vapour during transpiration.

Final answer: In terrestrial areas, temperature and rainfall are affected by transpiration.
