Evaporation only occurs from a surface, and is a stochastic process that occurs when a molecule gains sufficient energy to escape the surface tension. i.e. it is the hotter of the molecules that escape - which is why evaporative cooling occurs of the remaining liquid.
Depending on the pressure and temperature of the material, evaporation may occur from a liquid, or a solid.
Water and alcohol are examples of the first, and water, and Dry Ice - (CO2) are examples of the second type of evaporation, and which is given the special name of sublimation.

On which type of day would you expect the most evaporation to take place from a lake?
On a sunny and windy day
The process by which water changes from liquid form to an atmospheric gas is called?
Evaporation. THIS IS NOT "VAPORIZATION"... The answer is evaporation.
What process of water does water vapor rise into the atmosphere?
water rises into the atmosphere in the process of evaporation
How does the warming of the ocean affect the water cycle?
it increases the evaporation water.
What do evaporation and condensation have in common?
They are the exact oposite, but the energy of evaporation and energy of condensation are the samedifference between evaporation and condensation evaporation is change of solid into vapour ----
What are two types of evaporation?
Two types of evaporation are:Film type evaporationSuppressed boiling type evaporation
Does the type of climate matter for water evaporation?
Evaporation is faster in a warm climate.
Is steam a type of evaporation?
YES
What type of mixture can only be separated by evaporation?
homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures are separated by evaporation
What type of water body has the most evaporation?
well the body of water that has the most evaporation is the ocean
What is evaporation Brefily explain?
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which, instead, occurs on the entire mass of the liquid. Evaporation is also part of the water cycle.
Does the type of container affect the evaporation?
Evaporation only happens at the surface. So a wider container that allows for a greater surface to be in contact with air, the faster the evaporation.
Which type of irrigation losses the most water to evaporation?
Large irrigation channels losses more water by evaporation.
How does quality of water affect the evaporation rate?
Impurities in water can alter the evaporation rate, depending on the type and quantity of impurity.
What type of rock can can form by evaporation?
Rocks composed of evaporite minerals, such as halite and gypsum, are rocks formed by evaporation of fluids.
All babout evaporation?
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle.
What does evaporation and boiling have in common?
Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which, instead, occurs on the entire mass of the liquid.
