What kind of surfaces do evaporation happen at?
Evaporation can happen on any surface where liquid water is exposed to air. This includes surfaces like bodies of water, soil, plant leaves, and even wet clothes or dishes.
An example of evaporation is faster when the exposed surface of water is large?
When the exposed surface of water is larger the evaporation is faster.
Which process in the water cycle would happen more efficiently if more heat energy and light energy increased?
Evaporation would happen more efficiently with increased heat and light energy. The higher temperatures would increase the rate of evaporation of surface water into vapor, enhancing the process in the water cycle.
What is the total amount of water vapor leaving the earth's surface called?
The total amount of water vapor leaving the Earth's surface is called evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which water at the surface turns into water vapor in the air.
Does Evaporation only occurs over bodies of water?
No, it does not. It can happen almost anywhere. This is why after it rains, the water 'disappears' after awhile. Hope this helps!
How does surface evaporation happen?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
Why does the evaporation of water cool the air near the water's surface?
Evaporation is an endothermic process.
Is evaporation a surface phenomenon?
Evaporation is greatest at the surface. The wind and sun and, boiling water on a kitchen stove, all increase the evaporation rate of the water - which is the process of turning liquid water into a water vapour.
Why does most evaporation happen in the ocean?
Most evaporation happens in the ocean because of its large surface area and exposure to sunlight. The ocean's high heat capacity allows it to retain heat, which promotes the evaporation of water molecules from its surface. Additionally, the continuous movement of air and water currents helps distribute the evaporated water throughout the atmosphere.
What causes water to be lost from the surface of a lake?
Evaporation.
What is sprayed on surface water to reduce evaporation?
An oil reduce evaporation.
How does surface area affect the evaporation rate of water?
A larger surface area will increase the evaporation rate of water because more water molecules will be exposed to the air, allowing them to escape as vapor. Conversely, a smaller surface area will decrease the evaporation rate as fewer water molecules can escape into the air.
