A)The saturation vapor pressure would be low.
B)The relative humidity would be high.
C)The specific humidity would be low.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hot, moist tropical rain forests have a lot of moisture in the air due to evapotranspiration from the plants. This means the saturation vapor pressure is likely to be high. If the actual vapor pressure is close to the saturation vapor pressure, the relative humidity will be high. Specific humidity, which is the weight of water vapor per unit weight of air, is not necessarily low, but it does not reflect the relative humidity of the air.
