Solution

The formation of water vapor from water is caused due to Vaporization.

  1. Vaporization can be defined as the process in which the liquid state changes into the vapor state.
  2. As a result of an increase in temperature, the kinetic energy of the molecules increases. Due to the increases in kinetic energy, the force of attraction between the molecules reduces. As a result, they escape into the surrounding in the form of vapors.
