States of Matter: Deposition, Boiling, and Evaporation

Evaporation is a surface phenomenon, and an increase in surface area provides more area for the particles to evaporate.

An increase in temperature provides more kinetic energy to the particles, enabling more of them to go into the vapour state, thus increasing the rate of evaporation.

An increase in humidity decreases the rate of evaporation, as the air is already saturated with water vapour and cannot hold more.

<p>The increase in wind speed moves away the particles of water vapour, decreasing the amount of water vapour in the surrounding and increasing the rate of evaporation.</p> Signup and view all the answers
