EXPLANATION
Evaporation & Transpiration Physics
- Latitudinal Distribution of Specific Humidity ($q$):
- Specific humidity is defined as the mass of water vapor per unit mass of total moist air ($g/kg$).
- Because warm air has an exponentially higher vapor capacity (Clausius-Clapeyron relation) and intense solar insolation drives maximum evaporation over tropical seas, specific humidity reaches its global maximum at the Equator (up to $18 - 20\text{ g/kg}$) and declines poleward. (Correct answer: Option 1)
