Which condition would act to prevent a high concentration buildup of pollutants near the surface?
A) A radiation inversion
B) A strong subsidence inversion
C) A large, slow-moving anticyclone
D) A deep mixing layer

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A deep mixing layer would act to prevent a high concentration buildup of pollutants near the surface by mixing the pollutants throughout a deeper layer of the atmosphere, reducing their concentration near the surface. Radiation inversions, subsidence inversions, and anticyclones could all contribute to a buildup of pollutants near the surface by trapping them in a shallow layer of the atmosphere.
