Name two physical objects in your home which are affected by humidity. Also state the reason for such an affect.
Answer
Two physical objects in my home which are affected by humidity are:
- Wooden furniture — High humidity causes the wood to absorb moisture and swell, while low humidity may cause it to shrink and crack.
- Electronic devices (TV, computer, or smartphone) — High humidity causes moisture to accumulate inside the devices, which can corrode electrical components and affect their functioning.
