Which property of water accounts for the cooling effect of perspiration?
The latent heat of evaporation.
What is latent heat evaporation?
Latent heat of evaporation of water to steam is 2270 KJ/Kg
What is the heat stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
Latent
How does specific latent heat of water vary with temperature?
Latent heat of water is the heat required to change its state at a particular temperature BECAUSE of the pressure at which the water is at at the point of fusion or evaporation.The latent heat is not affected by temperature (in fact there is no temperature change during absorption of latent heat) it is affected by the pressure acting on a substance. As the pressure increases, the latent heat (of evaporation) decreases, consequently with the change in pressure there is also a different temperature at which the evaporation takes effect, higher pressure, higher temperature at the evaporation point.
How does heat transfer help to setup a hurricane?
Evaporation from warm ocean water transfers latent heat from the ocean into the atmosphere, and this is released when the moisture rises and condenses out into clouds and precipitation.
How does the amount of humidity effect a hurricane?
The more humid the air the more potential there is for a hurricane to gain strength. Hurricanes get their energy from the latent heat stored in the moisture of the air, which is released when that moisture condenses.
Evaporation causes cooling effect Explain with examples?
when a liquid evaporates,it gives its latent heat of vaporisation.if no heat is supplied from outside this results in cooling.
What is a hurricane powered by?
A hurricane is powered by the latent heat stored in war moist air.
What does the body depend upon when cooling itself in a hot environment?
The latent heat of evaporation of water - the evaporation of sweat.
Why sweating cause cooling?
Sweating has a cooling effect due to the latent heateffect of the evaporation of water. Although sweat is not completely composed of water, water from sweat evaportates at the skin's surface. The latent heat effect means that energy in the form of heat is released from the body when the water from sweat evaporates into the atmosphere on one's body.

What is heat called that is stored in the atmosphere as a result of evaporation?
the answer is latent Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).
