write a short note on all the factors influencing the rate of evporation
Answers
Explanation:
The rate of evaporation is affected by the following factors:
Temperature: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.
Surface area: The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.
Humidity: The amount of water vapour present in the air is called humidity.
Explanation:
the factors are-
1) temperature- the higher the temperature the higher the rate of evaporation, as temperature is directly proportional to rate of evaporation.
2)surface area- more surface area means higher rate of evaporation.
3)wind speed- for higher rate of evaporation there is a need for higher wind speed.
4) moisture/humidity- the higher humidity the less rate of evaporation, the lower humidity the higher rate of evaporation. as humidity is inversely proportional to rate of evaporation
