Why is the source of atmospheric water vapour considered stronger near the surface?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because evaporation and transpiration occur from the surface and water sources
Most atmospheric water vapour enters the air through evaporation from oceans, seas, lakes, rivers and moist soil, together with transpiration from plants. These sources are located at or near Earth’s surface, so the lower atmosphere generally receives the strongest supply of water vapour. The vapour may rise and spread after entering the air. Therefore option A is correct; the other statements misplace oceans or confuse unrelated gases.
