Does diffusion work better across dry or wet surfaces?

Answer:

Diffusion is the movement of particles from high to low concentration across different surfaces. It usually works better on wet surfaces because water molecules help particles move. Dry surfaces may not have enough moisture to help particles move, slowing or hindering diffusion. The surface type can also affect diffusion - porous materials allow for easier diffusion while dense materials restrict it.
