Why is water vapour usually higher in coastal areas?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because evaporation and moisture supply from the sea surface are high
Coastal regions are close to large water bodies, so the sea continuously supplies moisture to the atmosphere through evaporation. Warm surfaces, moist winds and the movement of air from the ocean can raise humidity near the coast. The other options are incorrect: coasts certainly contain air, coastal soil is not always frozen, and nitrogen content has no direct connection with water-vapour abundance. Thus, option A correctly identifies evaporation and moisture supply.
