The absolute humidity of air in coastal region is higher than humidity of air in inland areas.

Question

Give geographical reason for the following :

The absolute humidity of air in coastal region is higher than humidity of air in inland areas.

Answer 1

1. The rate of evaporation is found to be high in the coastal region. As its effect, the amount of moisture in air in coastal region is found to be high. This results in high absolute humidity of air in coastal region. 

2. On the other hand, the rate of evaporation is found to be low in the inland areas. As its effect, the amount of moisture in air in inland regions is found to be low. This results in low absolute humidity of air in inland areas. Thus, the absolute humidity of air in coastal region is higher than humidity of air in inland areas.
