Why is cooling of a surface necessary for dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a cold surface can bring nearby moist air to dew point

Correct answer: D. Dew is liquid water deposited on a cool surface. Air contains water vapour, but vapour does not become visible liquid water merely because moisture is present. First, the surface must lose heat and cool the thin layer of moist air touching it. As the air cools, it can hold less water vapour. If it reaches its dew point, the air becomes saturated and excess vapour condenses into small liquid droplets on grass, leaves, roofs or other surfaces. D describes this chain correctly: surface cooling lowers the temperature of nearby moist air until condensation can occur. A is wrong because cooling does not remove air pressure. B is unrelated to dew and lava is molten rock. C is wrong because cooling does not simply dry the air; it can bring the air to saturation. Dew point is the key idea. Memory cue: cool surface → air reaches dew point → vapour condenses → dew appears.
