Question

Name the factors that affect evaporation.

Answer 1

Answer:

Factors That Affect the Evaporation

Temperature: As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation also increases. Temperature and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other

Surface area: As the surface area increases, the rate of evaporation increases. The surface area and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other.

Humidity: The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity. Humidity and the rate of evaporation are inversely proportional to each other.

Wind speed: Increase in wind speed results in increased evaporation. Wind speed and rate of evaporation are proportional to each other.

Answer 2

The rate of evaporation is directly dependent on the temperature it’s exposed to.

The more the temperature, the more liquid it’s exposed to.

The kinetic energy increases and the liquid gets converted to vapor instead.

This increases the rate of evaporation.

You must have noticed that clothes dry at a much faster rate during summers than in winters when the temperatures are higher.
