The main difference between boiling and evaporation is that boiling is much faster. Boiling also often takes place at the bottom of the fluid (where the heat source usually is) whereas evaporation takes place only at the surface. So boiling can produce bubbles, while evaporation doesn't.
Evaporation is the process by which molecules in a liquid state (e.g. water) spontaneously become gaseous (e.g. water vapor), without being heated to boiling point. It is the opposite of condensation. Generally, evaporation can be seen by the gradual disappearance of a liquid, when exposed to a significant volume of gas.
Boiling is very rapid evaporation starting within a container of water.
Normally evaporation occurs at a much slower rate than boiling because most evaporation occurs with room temperature water.
Boiling occurs only when the liquid is heated to the boiling point, and vapor bubbles come from the bulk of the liquid. In evaporation, vaporization occurs only at the surface of the liquid, not throughout the liquid, and this occurs at lower temperatures.

∙ 12y agowhen water evaporates, it heats, the molecules move faster, so the water turns into tiny water droplets not visible to the naked eye. this doesn't happen when water boils, but water can still evaporate while boiling.

What are 'wide cut fuels'?
The main physical difference between kerosine (kerosene) and wide-cut fuels is their degree of volatility, the latter type of fuel having a higher volatility, thus increasing the problem of vapour locking and boiling
Explain the three main process involved in the water cycle?
Humans need river as a main water resource to undergo daily activities. The activity that related to the river is domestic, industrial, agriculture, transportation, fishery and hydro-electric energy. Besides that, river is also used as a boundary separation between district and state.
What are the two main types of vaporization?
boiling and evaporation
What is the main difference between condensation and evaporation?
evaporation is the process of water going from a liquid to a gas. condensation is the formation of clouds
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling-?
The difference in evaporation and boiling is simple. Just imagine a beaker and being placed on the hot plate. The liquid it beginning to evaporate and the their is a gradient in the water because not all of the water is reaching 100 degrees Celsius at once. Some of it is beginning to evaporate (change in the state from a liquid to a gas) the other is beginning to boil! Remember boiling is a characteristic property and once it is reached the temperature doesn't continue to increase. Hope this helped!Vaporization if the phase change from a liquid to a gas. Evaporation and boiling are both mechanisms for vaporization to occur. Evaporation occurs at the surface of the liquid. It is the primary method by which water moves from bodies of water into the atmosphere. It is a much slower process than boiling. Boiling occurs when a liquid is heated to the boiling point. During boiling, water evaporates throughout the entire liquid very fast, rather than just at the surface.Evaporation happens only at the surface of a liquid and occurs at any temperature (so long as the substance is a liquid at that temperature). However, as most people are aware, liquids evaporates faster at a higher temperature. Boiling, on the other hand, happens throughout the bulk of a liquid, usually starting from some site on the inside of the container and rising in a bubble to the surface. It only happens when the temperature is above the boiling point of that substance.
Give three differences between evaporation and boiling?
They are similar in that both result in some of the liquid being lost to the surrounding ambient volume as a gas. The specific gas depends on the liquid. It's called steam when the liquid is boiling water. It's called humidity when it's evaporated water. They are different in the speed at which the liquid is converted into gas and in the nature of the gas emitted into the air. For evaporation, the liquid quietly off gases fairly slowly so the amount of gas (molecule sized particles) above the liquid is typically not visible to the naked eye. But for boiling, the liquid bubbles and off gases fairly rapidly so the amount of gas above the boiling liquid is seen as steam (if the liquid is water). We see the steam and not the humidity because the size of steam particles is larger than the molecular size of humidity.

What is the main difference between egalitarian and ranked societies?
In egalitarian societies, there is a more equal distribution of power, resources, and status among members, without significant hierarchies. On the other hand, ranked societies have clear hierarchies and social classes, with some individuals or groups holding more power, wealth, and prestige than others.
