Which atmospheric element varies most with place and time?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Water vapour
Water vapour is the most variable major component of the atmosphere. Its amount changes with temperature, evaporation, precipitation, altitude and local humidity. Warm, humid air can hold more water vapour than cold, dry air, so its concentration differs greatly from place to place and from one time to another. Therefore option D is correct; nitrogen and argon are comparatively stable.
