Question:

Which of the following factor(s) affect Evaporation?

Options:

An increase of temperature

A decrease in humidity

An increase in wind speed

All of these

Correct Answer:

All of these

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 4. All of these.

All of these factors affect evaporation. Therefore, the correct option is All of these.

An increase in temperature:  Higher temperatures provide more energy to water molecules, allowing them to overcome intermolecular forces and transition from the liquid phase to the vapor phase.

A decrease in humidity:  Humidity refers to the amount of moisture present in the air. When the air is dry (low humidity), it has more capacity to absorb additional moisture through evaporation.

An increase in wind speed:  Wind can help in the evaporation process by removing the saturated air near the evaporating surface, allowing more air with lower humidity to come into contact with the liquid and promote further evaporation.
