Answer:

Disequilibrium at the interface of water and air is a factor on which the transfer of heat and water

vapor from the ocean to the air depends. The air within about a millimeter of the water is almostsaturated with water vapor and the temperature of the air is close to that of the surface water.

Irrespective of how small these differences might be, they are crucial, and the disequilibrium is

maintained by air near the surface mixing with air higher up, which is typically appreciably

cooler and lower in water vapor content. The turbulence, which takes its energy from the windmixes the air. As the speed of wind increases, so does the turbulence, and consequently the rate

of heat and moisture transfer. We can arrive at a detailed understanding of this phenomenon after

further study. The transfer of momentum from wind to water, which occurs when waves areformed is an interacting-and complicated phenomenon. When waves are made by the wind, ittransfers important amounts of energy-energy, which is consequently not available for the

production of turbulence.

45/46





C :

There would be a decrease in the amount of moisture in the air closest to the ocean

surface.

There would be an increase in the rate of heat and moisture transfer.
