← ScienceWhich consequence results when radiative cooling causes nighttime frost formation?
A)Latent heat releases to air✓
B)Air temperature decreases sharply
C)Vapor pressure nears equilibrium
D)Water changes kinetic energy rapidly
💡 Explanation
Frost formation demands the release of energy. Latent heat of deposition occurs because water vapor transitions directly to solid ice, releasing energy as heat to the surroundings; therefore, latent heat expulsion dominates, rather than a large drop in temperature or abrupt changes in water velocity.
