Evaporation occurs on a cold surface. Once this happens the particles get enery from the heat and can move about more freely. After a while they start to loose this energy and thay turn back into a liquid. condensation is what the end part is . the beginning part is called evaporation.

Why are the ocean the location of most evaporation and precipitation?

Oceans cover a large portion of the Earth's surface, so they receive a lot of sunlight and heat, leading to high evaporation rates. This moisture in the air then moves over land where it cools and condenses, causing precipitation to occur. This is why most evaporation and precipitation occur over the oceans.


Where does most evaporation and precipitation occur?

Most evaporation occurs over the oceans due to the large surface area and water availability. Precipitation is more evenly distributed, but the highest amounts occur in the tropical regions near the equator, known as the Intertropical Convergence Zone.


Where does more evaporation occur from the ocean or from the lands?

More evaporation occurs from the ocean because of its large surface area and higher water content compared to land. Ocean temperatures are typically higher and more consistent than land, further promoting evaporation.


Why does most evaporation take place at the equator?

Evaporation is higher at the equator due to the warmer temperatures and increased solar radiation. This causes more water to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. The high temperatures and abundant sunlight create ideal conditions for evaporation to occur.


Type of evaporation?

Evaporation only occurs from a surface, and is a stochastic process that occurs when a molecule gains sufficient energy to escape the surface tension. i.e. it is the hotter of the molecules that escape - which is why evaporative cooling occurs of the remaining liquid.Depending on the pressure and temperature of the material, evaporation may occur from a liquid, or a solid.Water and alcohol are examples of the first, and water, and Dry Ice - (CO2) are examples of the second type of evaporation, and which is given the special name of sublimation.
