How does water evaporate if it doesn't boil?
When the sun is out after a rain, I can see what appears to be steam rising off a wooden bridge nearby. I'm pretty sure this is water turning into a gas.
However, I thought water had to reach 100 degrees C to be able to turn into a gas.
Is there an edge case, for small amounts of water perhaps, that allows it to evaporate?

when liquid water meets dry air , water molecules evaporates of the surface until the amount of water in the air creates enough vapour pressure to achieve equilibrium. when water is heated to a temperatuur of 100c, then water evaporates
