When the ____________________ the relative humidity of air decreases, despite an increase in the absolute humidity?
Correct answer: A. Temperature rises
- A. Temperature rises
- B. Pressure rises
- C. Temperature falls
- D. Pressure falls
Explanation
When temperature rises, the saturation vapour pressure increases, so the same or even greater moisture content represents a smaller fraction of saturation. Therefore, relative humidity can decrease despite an increase in absolute humidity.
