FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What factors affect the rate of evaporation?

Back

Factors affecting evaporation include humidity, wind speed, nature of the liquid, depth of water, atmospheric pressure, and solar radiation.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How does humidity affect evaporation?

Back

Higher humidity means more water vapor in the air, making it harder for additional water to evaporate.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the principle of evaporation?

Back

Evaporation involves the escape of surface molecules of a liquid as vapors into the atmosphere at temperatures below the boiling point, facilitated by heat absorption from surroundings.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is kinetic energy in the context of evaporation?

Back

Kinetic energy refers to the movement of molecules in a liquid; higher temperature means higher kinetic energy, allowing surface molecules to escape.
