Admin What kind of day would you expect the most evaporation?
And during the middle part of the day, around noon, we’ve got the maximum amount of solar radiation, so there is more energy, so you tend to get highest evaporation rates during the middle part of the day. Plants are a little bit different.
Which kind of weather would you expect the most evaporation from on the surface of a pond?
Warm and sunny. The heat and the sun will help the pond evaporate faster.
Where do you think would evaporation be greatest?
Water evaporates faster if the temperature is higher, the air is dry, and if there’s wind. The same is true outside in the natural environment. Evaporation rates are generally higher in hot, dry and windy climates.
What conditions evaporate surface water?
Heat (energy) is necessary for evaporation to occur. Energy is used to break the bonds that hold water molecules together, which is why water easily evaporates at the boiling point (212° F, 100° C) but evaporates much more slowly at the freezing point.
When temperature rises water evaporates faster or slower?
Although water can evaporate at low temperatures, the rate of evaporation increases as the temperature increases. This makes sense because at higher temperatures, more molecules are moving faster; therefore, it is more likely for a molecule to have enough energy to break away from the liquid to become a gas.
Is evaporation greatest near the equator?
At all longitudes oceanic evaporation rates are lower on the equator than at latitudes to the north and south.
Where is evaporation greatest near the equator or away from the equator?
Most evaporated water exists as a gas outside of clouds and evaporation is more intense in the presence of warmer temperatures. This is shown in the image above, where the strongest evaporation was occurring over the oceans and near the equator (indicated by shades of red and yellow).
