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 is it cold at the poles?
The answer to this question involves the angle at which solar radiation is intercepted by the earth's atmosphere. The rule is that if solar radiation is incident perpendicular to the atmosphere the solar radiation that is incident on the earth's surface will be greatest. Incoming solar radiation at the poles comes in at a sharper angle and is spread over a greater surface area of atmosphere than at the equator. In this way, the poles have more of an atmospheric filter and experience less radiation per area time and hence have lower average temperatures.
