When liquid water evaporates to water vapor it?

This change of phase is called evaporation.


What is the order of the phases of water in order from the phase with the slowest molecular movement to the phase with the fastest molecular movement?

The order of the phases of water from the slowest to the fastest molecular movement is solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). In the solid phase, molecules are closely packed and vibrate in place, leading to minimal movement. In the liquid phase, molecules are more mobile and can slide past each other, while in the gas phase, molecules move freely and rapidly, resulting in the fastest molecular movement.


How water from Earth's surface evaporates?

Water from Earth's surface evaporates when it receives enough energy from the sun to break its bonds and change from liquid to vapor. This process happens when the water absorbs heat and its molecules gain enough kinetic energy to escape into the atmosphere. Evaporation is a vital part of the water cycle, where water evaporates from oceans, rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water, and eventually returns to Earth as precipitation.


The process by which water evaporates from a plant's leaves is called?

Transpiration is the process by which water evaporates from a plant's leaves. This helps regulate the plant's temperature and also aids in the movement of water and nutrients throughout the plant.


When water boils and evaporates what 3 things change?

A phase change occur, energy is absorbed, water volume decrease.
