Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFConcept:
Plume behavior is determined by atmospheric stability. Under extreme inversion conditions (strongly stable atmosphere), vertical dispersion is suppressed and the pollutants spread horizontally.
In such conditions, the plume appears as a thin horizontal layer and is known as a Fanning plume.
Given:
Plume spreads only horizontally and occurs under extreme inversion.
Explanation:
The figure shows a plume that does not rise or fall significantly, instead moving laterally due to temperature inversion, which traps pollutants near the emission level.
This condition is typical for a fanning plume.
