Which statement gives the correct difference between a permanent gas and a variable component?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Permanent gas amount is relatively stable and water vapour amount changes
The governing concept is the distinction between relatively permanent gases and variable atmospheric components. Nitrogen, oxygen, and argon remain fairly stable in proportion throughout the lower atmosphere, whereas water vapour changes greatly with temperature, location, and weather. Hence option A is correct. Permanent gases are not solids, water vapour is not always more abundant than nitrogen, and argon is a gas rather than a dust particle.
