Question 1.
What is evaporation?
Show hintHide hint
Think of boiling water turning into steam.
Question 2.
Which energy source primarily causes evaporation?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the sun's role in nature.
3Question 3.
What is the main driving force behind evaporation?
- Wind
- Humidity
- Solar Radiation
Show hintHide hint
Remember the sun's role in heating water.
4Question 4.
True or False: Higher humidity promotes evaporation.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about how wet air behaves.
Question 5.
Calculate the evaporation rate from a 100 m² water surface under varying temperature conditions of 20°C and 30°C. What role does temperature play?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how temperature affects water's ability to hold moisture.
Question 6.
Evaluate the impact of wind speed on evaporation rates in a controlled environment where temperature and humidity are constant. How would you design an experiment?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how you'd set up the experiment to isolate wind speed as a variable.
