Evaporation is the process where a liquid turns into a gas, specifically water turning into water vapor. Several factors influence evaporation, including wind speed, temperature, and humidity, with higher wind speeds, temperatures, and lower humidity leading to more evaporation. As water evaporates from surfaces like rivers and lakes, it enters the atmosphere as water vapor and can form clouds. This process of evaporation causes cooling effects as the evaporating particles absorb heat from their surroundings.

Evaporation is the change of state in a substance fromEvaporation is the change of state in a substance from
a liquid to a gas. In meteorology, the substance wea liquid to a gas. In meteorology, the substance we
are concerned about the most is water. Forare concerned about the most is water. For
