If air over a lake is calm, what effect will a moist layer near the surface produce?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Evaporation rate may decrease

Direct answer: A, evaporation may decrease. Evaporation occurs when water molecules leave the lake surface and enter the air. The rate is greater when the air immediately above the surface is relatively dry or when wind replaces that air with drier air. In calm conditions, the water vapour released from the lake can remain near the surface and create a moist, sometimes nearly saturated boundary layer. The difference between the vapour pressure at the water surface and in the nearby air then becomes smaller, so fewer molecules leave the lake per unit time. B is wrong because a moist layer does not make evaporation infinite; it usually restricts it. C is wrong because calm air does not instantly freeze a lake. D is the opposite of the situation: the layer contains water vapour. Memory cue: still air lets moisture accumulate; wind removes it and supports evaporation.
