Question

According to the given distance of a place from seashore arrange these in increasing order of rate of evaporation of water.

• A. 0 km
• B. 20 km
• C. 80 km
• D. 200 km

Answer 1

The region nearby a sea is more humid. Since evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity, it will be faster in an area far away from the sea. So, the rate of evaporation increases with increasing distance from the seashore as:
0 km < 20 km < 80 km < 200 km.
