Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Evaporation is the phase change of a liquid to a gas. There are three very important requirements for evaporation to take place, 1) available energy, 2) available water, and 3) a vertical moisture gradient. Approximately 600 calories of heat must be added to a gram of water for it to evaporate into the air.

2. Evaporation is the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure. It is a fundamental part of the water cycle and is constantly occurring throughout nature.

3.Water evaporates faster if the temperature is higher, the air is dry, and if there's wind. The same is true outside in the natural environment. Evaporation rates are generally higher in hot, dry and windy climates.

Answer:

For evaporation you need a warm, preferably humid temperature. The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature. A windy climate is best, as wind helps to remove the evaporated water vapour, and therefore creating a better scope for evaporation to continue. The speed of wind is important for evaporation because the wind pulls in dry air, increasing the rate of evaporation.

Short Answer- Hot and humid temperature, lots of wind speed.
