What is evaporation?
Think about what happens when water heats up.
What does a larger surface area do to evaporation?
Remember more area means more water exposed.
Does larger surface area lead to higher evaporation rates?
Remember our discussion of EASE.
The process of water changing from liquid to vapor is called what?
What happens when water gets hot?
Calculate the difference in evaporation loss between a small pond (3 m²) and a large lake (150 m²) over a hot day with similar temperatures. Assume evaporation rates of 5 mm/day per m².
Use the evaporation formula and consider the area!
Design a water usage plan for a farm with a 200 m² irrigation pond. Calculate potential evaporation loss over 10 days with a rate of 7 mm/day.
Focus on how often and much water is likely to evaporate based on surface area.
