evaporation -this phenomena of changing of a liquid into vapours at any temperature below its boiling point is called evaporation.
factors on which the rate of evaporation depends :
1.increase in surface area 2.increase in temperature 3.decrease in humidity 4. increase in wind speed

Evaporation is described as the process of a liquid converting into the gaseous state. The factors on which the rate of evaporation depends include temperature, humidity, surfaced area exposed, wind, etc.

Explanation:

Evaporation is described as the process in which the liquid turns into vapor or gas in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture.

It is one of the crucial elements in the water cycle. The factors which affect the rate of evaporation are:

1). Temperature: Higher the temperature, increased the rate of evaporation.

2). Humidity: The rate of evaporation is inversely proportional to the amount of humidity present in the atmosphere, Increased humidity corresponds to a slower rate of evaporation, and vice versa.

3). The Surface area exposed: If more area is exposed to air, it will allow the water molecules to absorb more heat that will encourage a faster rate of evaporation.

4). Wind: Increased wind speed allows more water molecules to evaporate in air and thus, the faster rate of evaporation while slow wind speed leads to a slower rate of evaporation.
