Under which condition is atmospheric humidity most likely to be lowest?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Cold dry polar air
Humidity depends on the amount of water vapour present and, for relative humidity, on air temperature and its moisture-holding capacity. Cold, dry polar air generally contains very little vapour because it comes from a moisture-poor environment. Thus option B is the best answer. Maritime, monsoon, and forest settings usually receive or retain more moisture, so they are less likely to have the lowest humidity.
