What similarity exists between atmospheric dust and sea-salt particles?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both can act as condensation nuclei
Atmospheric dust and sea-salt particles are aerosols that can provide surfaces for water vapour to condense upon. When moist air cools to saturation, vapour begins collecting around such condensation nuclei, helping cloud droplets form. Sea salt commonly comes from breaking waves and spray, while dust may be lifted from land, but both can assist cloud formation. They do not transform gases or remain outside the atmosphere, so B is correct.
