Usually fresh water lakes and river utilize evaporation as primarily the method of water and energy transfer.

In contrast, salt water oceans and seas have many ways to transfer water and energy other than evaporation.

What drives water evaporation?

Water evaporation is primarily driven by heat energy from the sun. This energy causes water molecules at the surface of a body of water to gain enough kinetic energy to escape into the air as water vapor. Other factors that influence evaporation include temperature, humidity, air movement, and surface area of the water.


A puddle of water disappearing is called?

evaporation there you go


How does evaporation in the sea occur?

Evaporation in the sea occurs when heat from the sun causes the water on the surface of the sea to turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. This process leaves behind the salt and other impurities in the sea water, resulting in fresh water vapor being released into the atmosphere.


Why does evaporation result in ocean water becoming saltier?

Evaporation causes ocean water to become saltier because when water evaporates, only the water molecules leave, while the salt and other minerals remain behind. This process leaves the remaining water with a higher concentration of salt, making it saltier.


Are cooler air temperatures responsible for the process of evaporation?

Cooler air temperatures can slow down the rate of evaporation by reducing the energy available to the water molecules for escaping into the air. Warmer temperatures generally increase the rate of evaporation by providing more energy to the water molecules. However, other factors like humidity, wind speed, and surface area of the water body also play a role in the evaporation process.

What is bound and unbound water?

water that is between sheets or ain't between sheets, complexed or non complexed. Peace out. bound water is nothing but water for crystallization, and unbound water is the moisture present in the sample. we can eaisly remove unbound water and find out its content by gravimetric analysis.


What is bound and unbound moisture?

Bound moisture is water molecules that are chemically attached to a substance, making it inaccessible. Unbound moisture is water that is physically trapped within the substance, but can be easily removed through drying.

What is the large lake in the western us that has no outlet and loses water only through evaporation?

Crater Lake in Oregon. Although some water is lost through ground seepage.


Why does the Great Salt Lake have salt when none of the other lakes do?

The Great Salt Lake, unlike other lakes, has no outlet. Any water flowing into the lake only leaves by evaporation. Over time, the minute traces of salt in the incoming water get concentrated. The Dead Sea is another example of this.


Does salt or sugar affect water evaporation?

What is the effect of sugar and salt in the evaporation of water?

Sugar and salt affect the evaporation of water differently. Sugar increases the boiling point of water, slowing down evaporation. On the other hand, salt decreases the vapor pressure of water, also slowing down evaporation. Both substances can hinder the rate of evaporation compared to pure water.


What is liquid changes into water vapor?

that is called evaporation. it is when a liquid heats up sufficiently and turns into a gas (not just water turning to water vapor. other liquids too can evaporate)


What is the difference between evaporation and diffusion?

Evaporation-Water changes into gas.Evaporation does not take place at.Rate of evaporation sometimes fast and sometimes low.Diffusion-The spreading of one substance to another is called diffusion.
