Environmental Science MCQs

✅ The correct answer is option D.
As air is cooled and no moisture is added, the relative humidity will increase until the air reaches saturation (100% RH). The temperature of the air when this occurs is called the dew point temperature.

✅ The correct answer is option C.
Radiation can cause leukemia.

✅ The correct answer is option A.
A biodegradable plastic developed by Biopak Corporation Australia is Biopol.

✅ The correct answer is option D.

✅ The correct answer is option A.

✅ The correct answer is option A.
Suppose saturated polar air has an air temperature and dew point of -10o C, and unsaturated desert air has an air temperature of 35o C and a dew point of 10o C. The desert air contains more water vapour and has a relative humidity than the polar air.

✅ The correct answer is option A.
Globally, water vapour contains a huge amount of stored energy, known as latent heat.
