Why is humidity generally high in coastal areas?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because a large water source is nearby

Answer: A. Coastal areas lie close to seas or oceans, which provide a large and nearly continuous source of water for evaporation. Sunlight and other energy cause surface water to change into vapour, and winds can transport that vapour into the air over the coast. Consequently, the moisture content and often the humidity of coastal air are high. A gives the basic geographical reason. B is not generally true, because many coastal areas have nearby mountains. C is clearly false; coastal areas can receive substantial rainfall. D is also too absolute: coastal temperatures vary and the air is not always cold. Humidity also depends on temperature, wind and rainfall, but closeness to a water body is the key factor here. Memory cue: nearby water means more evaporation and more moisture.
