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.
