Air can become saturated by cooling or by moisture addition. Exam tip: write both pathways of saturation.
View question detailsEvaporation supplies moisture and condensation begins cloud formation. Exam tip: remember their sequential role in the water cycle.
View question detailsWhen temperature rises saturation capacity increases so relative humidity falls for the same vapour content. Exam tip: remember the inverse link between temperature and relative humidity.
View question detailsDew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with its existing vapour. Exam tip: connect dew point with the start of condensation.
View question detailsHot dry air can hold much vapour but contains little actual moisture. Exam tip: distinguish capacity from actual amount.
View question detailsCoastal air is moisture-rich so slight cooling can bring saturation. Exam tip: link maritime influence with high humidity.
View question detailsAir near saturation accepts less new vapour. Exam tip: connect high relative humidity with slow evaporation.
View question detailsWind removes the saturated boundary layer and speeds evaporation. Exam tip: treat wind speed as a factor of evaporation.
View question detailsNight radiational cooling and cold-air pooling can bring surfaces to dew point. Exam tip: study relief and temperature together.
View question details(e_s) is saturation vapour pressure at a given temperature. Exam tip: understand the physical meaning of each symbol.
View question detailsCondensation products are not always rainfall; dew and fog are also condensation. Exam tip: separate condensation from precipitation.
View question detailsAfter saturation cooling changes extra vapour into liquid droplets or ice particles. Exam tip: remember condensation after saturation.
View question detailsWater vapour released by plants raises local moisture. Exam tip: remember transpiration as a source of humidity.
View question detailsA cold surface can cool moist air by contact to dew point. Exam tip: link contact cooling with fog.
View question detailsRelative humidity shows how far air is from saturation at current temperature. Exam tip: connect it with comfort and sweat evaporation.
View question detailsWhen air is moisture-laden it takes less new vapour from sweat. Exam tip: link human discomfort with humidity.
View question detailsAt lower temperature the same moisture is closer to saturation. Exam tip: observe temperature effect for equal actual moisture.
View question detailsWater vapour often needs nuclei to form droplets. Exam tip: connect particle role with cloud formation.
View question detailsAdiabatic cooling of rising air can bring it to dew point. Exam tip: understand the base process of orographic rainfall.
View question detailsIn still air a saturated layer near the surface slows evaporation. Exam tip: remember wind and boundary-layer effect.
