Answer:
1. Evaporation - vaporization that occurs only on the surface of a liquid (a "shrinking" puddle is an example)
2. Vaporization - occurs when the particles in a liquid gain enough energy to move independently, becoming a gas
3. Boiling - vaporization that takes place both below and at the surface of a liquid (water heated on a stovetop until it is bubbling)
4. Boiling point - the specific temperature at which a liquid boils (this is a physical property that scientists use to help identify unknown substances)
Explanation:
When you're unsure about what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, pronunciation, etc.
Considering that all of these terms are from the same field, you could also use a glossary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words from the same field with their definitions. These words seem like they could be related to chemistry, so you could use a glossary of chemistry terms.
