Question

Which of the following statement is incorrect?

Options

• Humidity increases towards the coastal area

• Humidity decreases from equator to poles

• Humidity increases with increasing latitude

• Humidity decreases with increasing altitude

Answer 1

Humidity increases with increasing latitude

Explanation:

Humidity generally increases towards coastal areas and decreases from the equator to the poles because colder air at higher latitudes holds less moisture. Also, humidity decreases with increasing altitude due to the lower temperature and pressure. Therefore, humidity does not increase with latitude; it actually tends to decrease as one moves away from the equator towards the poles.
