Open in App
Solution

Evaporation: It is the type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of the liquid and this liquid will change into vapors even below its boiling point.

  • Humidity: It is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air. As a humid environment already has a lot of water vapor so, it will decrease the rate of evaporation
  • Temperature: An increase in temperature will increase the rate of vaporization.
  • Surface area: More is the surface area available more will be the evaporation.
  • Wind speed: As the wind speed increases evaporation increases automatically.
