What is a major natural source of atmospheric water vapour?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Evaporation from oceans
The governing concept is the water cycle, especially evaporation. Solar energy changes liquid water at the ocean surface into water vapour, and the vast area of oceans makes them the major natural source of atmospheric moisture. Therefore option D is correct. Earthquakes and mining do not supply substantial vapour, and volcanic eruptions can add some water but are not the main source, so option C is too restrictive.
