What is the dew point temperature?
What is the dew point temperature?
- The maximum temperature air can reach before condensation occurs
- The temperature at which air becomes completely dry
- The temperature at which unsaturated air becomes saturated with vapor (correct)
- The temperature at which clouds form
What happens when the temperature of unsaturated air is decreased?
What happens when the temperature of unsaturated air is decreased?
- It becomes completely dry
- It turns into a cloud
- It reaches a temperature at which it becomes saturated with vapor (correct)
- It releases vapor into the atmosphere
How is the dew point temperature related to condensation?
How is the dew point temperature related to condensation?
- Condensation occurs when air reaches the dew point temperature (correct)
- Condensation only occurs at high altitudes
- Condensation occurs when air is completely dry
- Condensation does not relate to the dew point temperature
