Question

What is evaporation?Write factors affecting evaporation ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation is the process in which a liquid state of matter (water) is converted into a gaseous state of matter (vapour). In general terms, evaporation is defined as the process in which the liquid state is converted into gas. This process requires heat energy.

Explanation:

The rate of evaporation is affected by, (1) Temperature: Evaporation increases with an increase in temperature. (2) Surface Area: Evaporation increases with an increase in surface area. (3) Humidity: Evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity. (4) Wind speed: Evaporation increases with wind speed.

Answer 2

The process of turning from liquid into vapour is called evaporation.

The rate of evaporation is affected by,

(1) Temperature: Evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.

(2) Surface Area: Evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.

(3) Humidity: Evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity.

(4) Wind speed: Evaporation increases with wind speed.
