it is being said that
Evaporation depends on the following factors.
Humidity
Temperature
Wind speed
Surface area
so my que. is does air pressure is also responsible for evaporation although I know it is responsible for boiling.

Solution

Evaporation depends on the air pressure.
If the air pressure is more at the surface of liquid, evaporation slows down. And if air pressure is less then vapours can easily escape.
