Question

Give reasons for the following:

Evaporation is faster in summer.

Answer 1

Evaporation:

• It is the process in which a liquid state changes into a gaseous state by the action of heat.
• During the evaporation, the liquid absorbs heat energy from the surroundings.
• It occurs at temperatures below the boiling point of a liquid.
• In summer the temperature is high, and the rate of evaporation increases due to an increase in temperature.
• So, the evaporation rate is faster in summer.
