Consider the following statements with reference to temperature and moisture characteristics in the middle and high latitudes:
- The temperature and relative humidity are high and low respectively early in the morning.
- The temperature and relative humidity are low and high respectively early in the morning.
Which of the above mentioned statement(s) is/are correct?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Early in the morning the temperature is at its lowest, and since cool air holds less moisture, the relative humidity is at its highest. Statement 2 captures this correctly, while statement 1 reverses the relationship.
