Which substance must be present in air for both frost and dew formation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Water vapour

Correct answer: D. Dew and frost are both forms of atmospheric moisture deposited on a surface, so water vapour must be available in the nearby air. When a surface cools, the adjacent moist air may reach its dew point. If the surface temperature is above freezing, the vapour generally condenses into liquid droplets called dew. If the surface is at or below freezing, moisture may freeze or deposit as ice crystals, producing frost. The final form differs, but the basic source is the same: water vapour. D is therefore the only suitable substance. A, B and C are not necessary materials for ordinary dew or frost formation. A is wrong because lava is molten rock; B and C are solid materials that do not supply the atmospheric moisture required. Cooling and an appropriate temperature are also needed, but without water vapour neither dew nor frost can form. Memory cue: same moisture source, different temperature outcome—dew is liquid, frost is ice.
