Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All listed factors contribute to cold-related injuries. Wind and low air temperature increase the risk of hypothermia and frostbite by removing heat from the body more rapidly. Humidity can exacerbate the cold by making it feel colder than the actual air temperature, affecting the body's thermal regulation. Exposed body parts are directly at risk of cold injuries due to lack of insulation and exposure to the elements.
