Geography
Humidity, evaporation, and condensation
Practice questions
The feeling of heaviness in air just before rain may be linked with which condition?If two places have the same relative humidity, will their actual water vapour content definitely be the same?How can the effect of surface area on evaporation rate be explained?Why does water vapour strongly affect weather even though its atmospheric amount is small?Why do tiny droplets formed during condensation not immediately become rainfall?Why does sweat dry slowly in moist air?If air temperature is far above the dew point, why is immediate condensation less likely?Relative humidity may fall in the afternoon while vapour amount remains nearly the same. What is the reason?Why can moist air be considered lighter than dry air?How can humidity increase at coastal areas during night?Why is rainfall not compulsory even when relative humidity is (100%)?Why does evaporation remain low in icy regions because of low temperature?Why does the vertical distribution of water vapour generally decrease with height?What is the main exam-oriented difference between evaporation and boiling?Why does glass become misty when moist air touches a cold surface?Why can perceived temperature feel higher when humidity increases?If water is available at the surface but air is cool and nearly saturated, why will evaporation remain limited?Why does relative humidity increase when rising air cools?What weather effect can result from the increased moisture-holding capacity of warm air?Why can fog persist when a temperature inversion exists near the surface?
