• C. Wind speed
• D. Gravitation

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
A

Temperature

B

Surface area

C

Wind speed

D Gravitation

The rate of evaporation is affected by temperature, surface area, wind speed and humidity.

1) The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.

2) The rate of evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.

3) Evaporation increases with an increase in wind speed.

4) The amount of water vapour present in the air is called humidity. The rate of evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity.
