“S-290 Unit 5: Temperature and Relative Humidity Relationships” module focuses on methods of describing humidity in the atmosphere and how temperature changes can affect relative humidity. Topics from this module will be further related to effects on potential fire behavior in other modules of the
Intermediate Wildland Fire Behavior Course .

It is STUPID, that you can't see the correct answer when you get a question wrong...! This is NOT a good way for someone to learn, but a way to keep people from passing on quiz answer. This is NOT a way for student to learn...!

Test items with distractor answer options must be clear enough to provide a valid distraction between the correct and incorrect understanding of the underlying concept being tested. Clever "gotcha" distractors may give the test creator a sense of self-satisfaction but do not validly assess student understanding. Best practice pedagogy would caution, "Best" answers should not be a competition between the test writer and the student as to who is the most clever.

Very in depth. Great information
1. Describe the relationship between dry bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, dewpoint temperature, and relative humidity.
2. Describe typical day and night (diurnal) variations in air temperature and relative humidity.
3. Determine relative humidity, dewpoint, and wet bulb temperatures using a psychrometric table.
4. Describe the effects of topography, vegetation, clouds, and wind on air temperature and relative humidity.
5. Describe the temperature and relative humidity characteristics of continental and maritime air masses.
