Why is humidity generally high in coastal regions?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation from the sea is high

Correct answer: A, evaporation from the sea is high. Oceans and seas provide an enormous exposed water surface. Solar heating, moving air, and the continuous supply of liquid water allow water molecules to enter the atmosphere as vapour. Winds can carry this moisture over nearby coastal land, so coastal air commonly contains more water vapour than air far inland, although actual humidity still varies with temperature, wind, and weather. Option B is wrong because winds do blow over seas and often help transport moisture. Option C is wrong because seawater is liquid, not solid, under ordinary coastal conditions. Option D is wrong because coastal areas do receive sunlight; lack of sunlight is not the general cause. The safe memory cue is: nearby large water body plus evaporation usually means moisture-rich air.
