Q630

As the air temperature increases, the air's capacity for water vapour:

A.
Increases
Answer
B.
Decreases
C.
Remains constant
D.
Is unrelated to air temperature and can either increase or decrease

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The air's capacity for water vapour increases as air temperature increases. Air with a temperature of 30°C can hold more than three times as much water vapour as air at 10°C. Relative humidity varies significantly when the temperature changes, even when the actual amount of water vapour in the air remains the same.
