In broad terms, it is the vapor pressure of the liquid in question- alcohol has a high vapor pressure, and will evaporate quickly. Oil has a low vapor pressure, and evaporates slowly. Evaporation will speed up as temperature (heat from the sun) increases, or as air movement (breezes) increases.
What else can I help you with?
Where does the energy come from that powers evaporation in nature?
The energy that powers evaporation in nature primarily comes from the Sun. Solar energy heats up the surface of bodies of water, causing the water molecules to gain enough energy to break free from the liquid state and turn into water vapor. Wind and heat from the surrounding environment can also play a role in providing energy for evaporation.
What powers the entire water cycle?
The sun.
What does energy mean in the water cycle?
Energy in the water cycle refers to heat from the sun, which powers the whole cycle, in particular the movement of water from oceans into the atmosphere (evaporation).
When water turns into gas it is known as what?
Evaporation.
Why solar evaporation good?
solar evaporation is used where there is a net evaporation
What is the source of the energy that powers the Earth's hydrologic and atmospheric system?
The energy that powers the Earth's hydrologic and atmospheric system comes primarily from the Sun. Solar energy drives processes such as evaporation, precipitation, and wind patterns, which are essential for the functioning of the Earth's water cycle and weather systems.
What is an example where evaporation is used effectively?
Evaporation is used effectively in an evaporation cooler.
What is the the opposite of condensation?
Evaporation is the opposite of condensation.
What are two types of evaporation?
Two types of evaporation are solar evaporation, which occurs when water is heated by the sun, and mechanical evaporation, which involves the use of machines to heat water and accelerate the evaporation process.
What is evaporation for?
evaporation is to do with changing states
The process of a liquid becoming a gas?
vaporization
A puddle of water disappearing is called?
evaporation there you go
