Question

Name the phenomenon which explains the drop in the water level of a lake during the summer season.

Answer 1

• The phenomenon responsible for the drop in the water level of a lake during the summer season is evaporation.
• Evaporation is the process by which water is converted to water vapor at room temperature.
• The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.
• During the summer season, more water will be evaporated from the water bodies due to the high heat of the sun.
• Therefore, the water level will decrease at a higher rate during summer.
