Assertion (A): A fanning plume can produce a sudden high concentration far from its source.

Reason (R): It travels for great distances almost undiluted within a stable layer.

Select the correct answer from the options below.

  • A.A is false but R is true
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • D.A is true but R is false

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

In a stable layer the plume spreads sideways but not vertically, so it travels a long way almost undiluted. If the layer later breaks up - as it does when the ground warms - that concentrated ribbon is mixed down in one body, which is exactly how a fanning plume produces a sudden high concentration far from its source.
