Question

Annual precipitation amounts in centimeters are shown in the table for four environments. Which environment experiences the least humidity?

Environment A 80–120 cm
Environment B 20–50 cm
Environment C 150–200 cm
Environment D 40–60 cm
Environment A
Environment B
Environment C
Environment D

Answer 1

Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air, which is not directly related to the amount of precipitation. However, environments with higher annual precipitation tend to have higher humidity levels, all else being equal.

Therefore, the environment that experiences the least humidity would be the one with the lowest annual precipitation amount, which is Environment B with a range of 20-50 cm.

So, the correct answer is option B: Environment B.
