Explain why it is advantageous that water does not evaporate quickly on earth<br><br> PLEASE HELP!!
stich3 [128]

Answer:

When the humidity is 100 percent, the air is saturated with water. Air pressure also affects evaporation. If air pressure is high on the surface of a body of water, then the water will not evaporate easily. The pressure pushing down on the water makes it difficult for water to escape into the atmosphere as vapor.
