EVAPORATION
• The process by which water changes into water
vapour by heating is known as evaporation.
• It occurs continuously in nature.
Factors for Evaporation:
• The speed of evaporation is faster in areas with
high temperature.
• Evaporation is faster in areas that are less
humid.
• Strong wind increases evaporation.
• If the exposed surface area is more, then the
rate of evaporation also increases.
• Evaporation is greater in oceans than in lakes.
