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.

What climate has low temperature and limited evaporation and precipitation?

A cold desert climate typically has low temperatures, limited evaporation, and minimal precipitation. This type of climate is characterized by dry conditions, extreme temperature fluctuations, and sparse vegetation due to the lack of moisture in the air. Areas such as Antarctica and parts of Greenland exhibit this type of climate.


On which type of day would you expect the most evaporation to take place from a lake?

On a warm and windy day, you would expect the most evaporation to take place from a lake. The warmth provides the necessary energy for the water to evaporate, while the wind helps to remove the water vapor from the lake's surface, increasing the rate of evaporation.

All babout evaporation?

Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs from the surface of a liquid into a gaseous phase that is not saturated with the evaporating substance. Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle.


Is condensation the opposite of evaporation?

Yes, because condensation is the change in state from a gas to a liquid, and evaporation (a type of vaporization) is the change from a liquid to a gas.


What is the residue of evaporation called?

The residue left after evaporation is called the concentrate or precipitate, depending on the type of substance being evaporated. It is the remaining solid or liquid material that remains after the solvent has been removed through evaporation.
