The ocean is mostly heated from the top, by light from the sun. The warmer surface water doesn’t mix much with the colder deep ocean water. This lack of mixing can be ascribed to a lack ofA. Conduction. B. Convection.C. Radiation. D. Evaporation.
3. Suppose the relative humidity of the air was 96% on a cold morning
when the temperature was 20 °C. In the afternoon, the air
temperature has risen to 35 °C, but the actual amount of water
vapour in the air is the same as it was in the morning. The
barometric pressure is also the same as it was in the morning.
What is the approximate relative humidity in the afternoon?
You can determine wind direction by wetting your finger and holding it up in the air. Explain.
