evaporation- the surface of the liquid is heated slowly and eventually becomes a gas

boiling- the entire liquid is heated and the entire liquid becomes a gas

Evaporation occurs when atoms/molecules leave the surface of a liquid.
Boiling occurs when this evaporation takes place in the body of the liquid.
