Question

Describe the process of evaporation.

Answer 1

• The sun heats the ocean's surface and the air during the day, causing water molecules to evaporate.
• A liquid turning into a gas is evaporation. It is how water gets from the surface of the Earth to the atmosphere.
• Temperature, surface area, wind speed, and humidity affect a liquid's evaporation rate.
• Latent heat is a form of energy held in the evaporated water when it evaporates and cools.
• There would be no rain if evaporation did not occur. As a result, most plants would dry up. The humidity of the air replenishes via evaporation, primarily from the oceans and plants. It plays a significant role in the energy exchange that results in atmospheric motion, affecting weather and climate in the Earth-atmosphere system.
• The particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first to evaporate from a liquid.
• Water does not just evaporate when heated to 100°C. On the surface, evaporation happens at practically all temperatures. The rate of evaporation, however, grows as the temperature rises.
• Most of the air's moisture evaporates from rivers, lakes, seas, and oceans. Water at the surface of the Earth evaporates into water vapor, which rises into the sky and forms clouds, which eventually release water back onto Earth as precipitation.

Answer 2

Hopefully this helps, this is basically simplified but you could ask me for a more detailed explanation. But evaporation works by water on the ground(puddles, lakes, etc) turn into a vapor, which means the water tunrs into gas, which is invisible. Then that water goes up and is stored in the clouds which would then become water and fall into a puddle and the cycle repeats! Hope this Helped!
