Questions and Answers

What is the primary cause of water molecules escaping into the air as vapor during evaporation?

  • Attraction to other water molecules
  • Absorption of energy from the surroundings (correct)
  • Increase in atmospheric pressure
  • Reduction in kinetic energy
  • How does evaporation contribute to the Earth's water cycle?

  • By creating permanent cloud cover
  • By increasing the salinity of oceans
  • By redistributing water across the planet (correct)
  • By decreasing the global water vapor content
  • What happens to the vapor that rises into the atmosphere during evaporation?

  • It remains suspended in the atmosphere indefinitely
  • It escapes into space
  • It cools and condenses to form clouds (correct)
  • It transforms into solid ice particles
