Why is humidity usually higher in areas near the sea?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because of continuous large-scale evaporation from oceans

The correct answer is B: continuous evaporation from oceans supplies abundant water vapour. Humidity describes the amount of water vapour present in air; relative humidity also depends on temperature. Seas and oceans provide a very large water surface, and solar energy causes water to evaporate continuously. Winds then carry this vapour into nearby coastal air, so coastal regions usually have more moisture than many inland areas. A is wrong because the presence or absence of trees is not the main reason for the general coastal pattern. B is correct because it identifies the continuous oceanic source. C is not sufficient: cooler air can have higher relative humidity under some conditions, but cold weather alone does not explain the moisture supply. D is wrong because air movement is common near coasts and stagnant air is not required. Memory cue: coast means a nearby, continuously evaporating moisture source.
