Water vapor can make up as much as 90% of the greenhouse gases by volume in earth's atmosphere. however, water vapor is rarely identified as a major agent of climate change. what best describes the role water vapor plays in the greenhouse effect?

As it can hold CO2 and CFC, it's the major one for the greenhouse effect.

Explanation:

Water, which evaporated from the sea and other sources, directly goes upward and stays in the form of the cloud. This cloud can change the environmental situation of any place. Such as, it can make rainfall, snowfall, etc. Along with this, it holds CO2 and CFC gas. If the cloud of any place is denser, it contains more CO2 and CFC gas, which can increase temperature and cause the greenhouse effect. For this reason, this is called the major one for the greenhouse effect.

a fossil fuel is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis.[1] the age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years.[2] fossil fuels contain high percentages of carbon and include petroleum, coal, and natural gas.[3] other commonly used derivatives include kerosene and propane. fossil fuels range from volatile materials with low carbon to hydrogen ratios like methane, to liquids like petroleum, to nonvolatile materials composed of almost pure carbon, like anthracite coal. methane can be found in hydrocarbon fields either alone, associated with oil, or in the form of methane clathrates.

the theory that fossil fuels formed from the fossilized remains of dead plants by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over millions of years was first introduced by andreas libavius "in his 1597 alchemia [alchymia]" and later by mikhail lomonosov "as early as 1757 and certainly by 1763".[4] the first use of the term "fossil fuel" was by the german chemist caspar neumann, in english translation in 1759.[5]

in 2017 the world's primary energy sources consisted of petroleum (34%), coal (28%), natural gas (23%), amounting to an 85% share for fossil fuels in primary energy consumption in the world.[6] non-fossil sources in 2006 included nuclear (8.5%), hydroelectric (6.3%), and others (geothermal, solar, tidal, wind, wood, waste) amounting to 0.9%.[7] world energy consumption was growing at about 2.3% per year. in 2015 about 18% of worldwide consumption was from renewable sources.[8]
