Drought can increase evaporation because when there is less water available in the soil or surrounding environment, the air becomes drier which promotes evaporation. As the moisture content decreases due to the drought, there is less water available to saturate the air, leading to increased evaporation rates.

What things affect the rate or speed of evaporation?

Factors that affect the rate of evaporation include temperature (higher temperatures increase evaporation), humidity (lower humidity levels increase evaporation), surface area (larger surface areas lead to faster evaporation), and airflow (increased airflow can enhance evaporation).


How does volume or temperature affect evaporation?

An increase in temperature will generally increase the rate of evaporation as it provides more energy for molecules to escape into the air. Similarly, an increase in volume of the liquid exposed to the air will also increase the rate of evaporation as there are more molecules available to escape into the air.


Does the rate of water evaporation increase or decrease as temperature rises?

As temperature rises, the rate of water evaporation increases.


How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?

These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)


How does an increase in wind speed affect evaporation?

An increase in wind speed will typically increase the rate of evaporation by reducing the boundary layer of moist air around the evaporating surface. This allows for more rapid diffusion of water vapor away from the surface, promoting faster evaporation.
