Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Evaporation :

Evaporation is a normal process that occurs when the liquid form changes into the gaseous form; while causing an increase in the pressure or temperature. Boiling is an unnatural process where the liquid gets heated up and vaporized due to continuous heating of the liquid.

Evaporation usually occurs on the surface of the liquid being heated up.

Boiling :

Boiling usually occurs on the entire mass of the liquid that gets heated up.

Bubbling effect is not visible in evaporation. Bubbling effect is visible during the process of boiling.

The process of evaporation is usually slower and more carried out when compared to boiling. The process of boiling is usually much quicker and the process happens quite rapidly as well.

Answer/Explanation:

Let's define both terms

Boiling: is defined as a process whereby the liquid state is turned into gaseous state at a specific boiling point. And it is a fast process.

Evaporation: is defined as a process whereby a natural process in which the increase in temperature or pressure causes liquid to change into gas.

Difference between boiling and evaporation

In boiling, temperature of the liquid remains constant. While in evaporation, temperature of the liquid reduces

In boiling, temperature is required only at boiling point while in evaporation, temperature occurs at any given temperature.

In boiling, bubbles are formed while in evaporation, bubbles are not formed.

In boiling, a source of energy is required while in evaporation, the surrounding supplies the energy required.

Boiling produces heat and does not lead to liquid cooling, evaporation leads to liquid cooling.

The molecules of the liquid move faster in boiling than in evaporation
