Question

What is evaporation? What role does temperature (thermal energy) play in evaporation? Give an example and draw a model illustrating your example.

Answer 1

Answer:

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. Evaporation is the primary pathway that water moves from the liquid state back into the water cycle as atmospheric water vapor. As evaporation occurs, the temperature of the remaining liquid decreases.

For the model I would just draw the sun's rays hitting the ocean and heating it up causing water vapor to rise.
