Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Atmospheric perspective is the correct answer because it refers to the effect the atmosphere has on the appearance of an object as it is viewed from a distance. Due to the scattering of light by particles in the air, objects that are farther away appear more blurred and have a bluish tint, especially on days with high pollution.
