When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.

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.
What is the vaporization at the surface of a liquid called?
Evaporation. It only happens at the surface of a liquid.
What happens when liquid water molecules escape from the surface enter into what?
evaporation
What is the change of state from a liquid to a gas that only happens at the surface of a liquid?
evaporation
When does the water evaporation happens?
Evaporation of water occur when the energy of water molecules from the surface is sufficiently high and the molecules can escape in the atmosphere.
What happens when high energy particles leave the surface of the liquid?
Evaporation.
Does evaporation of water happen at the surface?
Evaporation occur at the surface of water.
Why do things that have a bigger surface area volume ratio dry faster than things with a smaller surface area volume ratio?
Because evaporation happens at the surface.
What is the change of a liquid to a gas?
Evaporation.Would you believe condensation.Would you believe vaporization!(Evaporation is a type of vaporization that only happens at the surface of a liquid, boiling happens throughout the liquid volume)
Describing the terms of the movement and the energies of the water particles what happens to evaporation?
Evaporation explanation is that the kinetic energy of molecules at the surface allows some molecules to escape in the atmosphere.
Why is it that the larger the surface area the higher the evaporation?
That's because evaporation occurs at the surface.
What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
