Questions for HUMIDITY 1
Answer the following questions
Test Mode
Training Mode
1. The maximum amount of water vapour that the air can contain depends on the
air temperature
relative humidity
dewpoint
stability of the air
2. The relative humidity of a sample air mass is 50%. How is the relative humidity of this air mass influenced by changes of the amount of water vapour in it?
It is not influenced by changing water vapour
It is only influenced by temperature.
It decreases with increasing water vapour
It increases with increasing water vapour
3. Relative humidity depends on
moisture content and temperature of the air
moisture content and pressure of the air
moisture content of the air only
temperature of the air only
4. What does dewpoint mean?
The temperature to which a mass of air must be cooled in order to reach saturation.
The temperature at which ice melts.
The freezing level (danger of icing).
The temperature at which the relative humidity and saturation vapour pressure are the same.
5. Relative humidity
decreases if the air is cooled whilst maintaining the vapour pressure constant
is higher in warm air than in cool air
increases if the air is cooled whilst maintaining the vapour pressure constant
is higher in cool air than in warm air
6. The process by which water vapour is transformed directly into ice is known as
sublimation
supersaturation
radiation cooling
supercooling
7. Relative humidity at a given temperature is the relation between
dew point and air temperature
water vapour weight and dry air weight
water vapour weight and humid air volume
actual water vapour content and saturated water vapour content
8. The difference between temperature and dewpoint is greater in
moist air
air with high temperature
air with low temperature
dry air
9. Which of the following statements is true of the dew point of an air mass?
It can be used to estimate the air mass’s relative humidity even if the air temperature is unknown
It can be used together with the air pressure to estimate the air mass’s relative humidity
It can only be equal to, or lower, than the temperature of the air mass
It can be higher than the temperature of the air mass
10. In which layer is most of the atmospheric humidity concentrated?
Stratopause
Troposphere
Tropopause
Stratosphere
11. How, if at all, is the relative humidity of an unsaturated air mass influenced by temperature changes?
It is only influenced by the amount of water vapour.
It increases with increasing temperature.
It decreases with increasing temperature.
It is not influenced by temperature changes
12. Relative humidity
does not change when water vapour is added provided the temperature of the air remains constant
is not affected when air is ascending or descending.
is not affected by temperature changes of the air
changes when water vapour is added, even though the temperature remains constant.
13. Which of the following is the definition of relative humidity?
Ratio between the actual mixing ratio and the saturation mixing ratio X 100
Ratio between water vapour pressure and atmospheric pressure X 100
Ratio between air temperature and dewpoint temperature X100
Ratio between water vapour (g) and air (kg) X 100
14. A parcel of moist but not saturated air rises due to adiabatic effects. Which of the following changes?
Absolute humidity
Specific humidity
Mixing ratio
Relative humidity
15. The dewpoint temperature
is always lower than the air temperature
can be equal to the air temperature
can not be equal to the air temperature
is always higher than the air temperature
16. Which of the following changes of state is known as sublimation?
Solid direct to vapour
Solid direct to liquid
Liquid direct to solid
Liquid direct to vapour
17. In which of the following changes of state is latent heat released?
Gas to liquid
Solid to gas
Solid to liquid
Liquid to gas
18. During the late afternoon an air temperature of +12°C and a dew point of +5°C were measured. What temperature change must occur during the night in order to induce saturation?
It must decrease to +7°C.
It must decrease to +6°C.
It must decrease by 5°C.
It must decrease to +5°C.
19. When water evaporates into unsaturated air
relative humidity is not changed
heat is absorbed
relative humidity is decreased
heat is released
20. When a given mass of air descends, what effect will it have on relative humidity?
It increases up to 100%, and then remains stable
It decreases.
It increases.
It remains constant.
21. How does relative humidity and the dewpoint in an unsaturated air mass change with varying temperature?
When temperature decreases, the relative humidity decreases, and the dewpoint increases
When temperature decreases, the relative humidity and the dewpoint remain constant.
When temperature increases, the relative humidity increases, and the dewpoint decreases.
When temperature increases, the relative humidity decreases, and the dewpoint remains constant.
22. The dewpoint temperature
can not be lower than the air temperature
can be reached by cooling the air whilst keeping pressure constant
can not be equal to the air temperature
can be reached by lowering the pressure whilst keeping temperature constant
23. Dew point is defined as
the lowest temperature at which evaporation will occur for a given pressure
the lowest temperature to which air must be cooled in order to reduce the relative humidity
the temperature to which moist air must be cooled to become saturated at a given pressure
the temperature below which the change of state in a given volume of air will result in the absorption of latent heat
