The process of evaporation of water requires heat - the latent heat of evaporation.
If you provide a source of heat to water it will boil. While boiling the heat supplied is carried away (as latent heat) in the vapor and the liquid remains at a constant temperature (boiling point).
Where evaporation occurs without a source of heat, the body of water is cooled (it loses heat) as the latent heat is carried away in the vapor (lick your finger and blow on it and you will feel your finger cool).
When water vapor condenses back into water, the latent heat it contains is given up as heat again. This warms the surface on which the condensation happens or the air around the drops of water formed. It is this heat energy that drives storm systems (such as tornadoes and hurricanes).

Where did the water evaporate faster?

Water evaporate faster in countries with a warm climate.


Why does hot water evaporate faster than warm water?

The molecules in hot water have more kinetic energy than those in warm or cold water, and thus makes it easier for those molecules to escape into the vapor phase (evaporate).


What happens to liquid water when you add heat?

When you add heat to liquid water it gets warm. If it gets warm enough it will boil and evaporate.


Will pond water evaporate faster on a warm sunny day or on a warm sunny day or on a warm cloudy day bc?

warm sunny day


Does warm water evaporate more rapidly then cold water?

Yes, because when water evaporates it is usually warm when the sun is up and shining - so warm water evaporates more quickly than cold water because it is warm.


Why does warm water evaperate faster than cold water?

Because the warmness from the sun helps it evaporate


How ca n blood evaporate from your body?

Blood cannot evaporate from the body as it is a liquid. If blood is exposed to air or a warm environment, it can dry out and solidify, but it does not evaporate like water.


Can water evaporate when it's warm?

Yes, of course - at high temperature evaporation is increased.


Does warm water evaporate faster than cold water?

Yes, warm water evaporates faster than cold water because the molecules in warm water have more energy, allowing them to escape into the air more quickly.


What would happen to water and salt when left in warm place?

When left in a warm place, water would evaporate due to increased temperature, leaving behind salt crystals. Salt does not evaporate like water, so it would remain in its solid state even in a warm environment.


Is it true condensation of water vapor occurs when air gets warm?

No, this is backwards. When air gets warm it can hold more water vapour so liquid water will evaporate.


WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU MICROWAVE WATER?

It'll warm up, start to boil and eventually evaporate.
