EVAPORATION

We know that water has different forms and water has own cycle but in this essay we
will learn and tell you about evaporation, like the affecting factors of it and how important it is.
Evaporation is a type of vaporization where liquid becomes a gas because of the heat.
The heat energy that result the water to vapor and cause the molecules to move is known as
kinetic energy. The molecules remains the same but its speed is becoming faster and their
energy heightens because of the movement. However the process of evaporation can be
changed by various factors including the temperature, exposed surface, wind and humidity.
Temperature affects the rate of evaporation because the higher the temperature the
higher rate of water being evaporate, I don’t even need to say that the hotter it gets the rate of
water being evaporate is high because in previous paragraph is that the heat energy is the
result of water to vapor.
The process can be simply summed up by stating that the stronger the wind, the higher
the rate of evaporation.
The exposed surface area of the container used in carrying out an experiment also can
affect the rate of evaporation. The whole process can be summed up that, the larger the
surface area exposed, the higher the rate of evaporation. With a larger surface area exposed,
more heat and wind is able to come into contact with the water molecules, thereby increasing
the evaporation rate. A good example from it is that people hang their wet clothes outside to
dry instead drying them out inside
Humidity can be defined as the amount of water vapor in the air. At the time that it is
high, it is more difficult for water to escape through the process of evaporation. What happens
is that it is like the air is full and cannot be able to hold more water vapor. Thus, there will be a
slower rate of evaporation.
In summary the hotter it gets the rate of evaporation is high, the stronger the wind the
higher the rate of evaporation, the larger surface exposed the higher the rate of evaporation
and the high of humidity the slower the rate of evaporation
Now that we talk about the factors of evaporation we will talk about tons of information
of evaporation. Evaporation from the oceans is vital to the production of fresh water. Because
more than 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans. When that water evaporates,
the salt is left behind. The fresh-water vapor then condenses into clouds, many of which drift
over land.
In conclusion of evaporation occurs when heat warms the surface of the water.
Alongside condensation and precipitation, evaporation is one of the three main steps in the
Earth’s water cycle. Temperature, wind, exposed surface area and humidity effects
evaporation.
 On the earth’s surface, there are three different forms of water namely solid, liquid and
gaseous. Water exists in different forms due to the variations in climatic conditions. Water is a
very important resource as it is used for drinking, cleaning, cooking etc. It should be preserved
and carefully used as it is required for the survival of life on earth.
Water is an extraordinary molecule. It is minute, made up of only three atoms, two of
which are hydrogen, which are also the tiniest of all. The third is an oxygen atom, large enough
to attract the electrons of the two hydrogen atoms towards it. The well-known chemical
formula H2O means precisely one atom of oxygen (O) plus two hydrogen atoms (H). Due to the
uneven distribution of the electrons, that is of the negative charges, a water molecule behaves
like a sort of minute magnet: oxygen is the negative pole, the two hydrogen atoms form the
positive one; water is therefore a polar compound. Just like magnets, water molecules attract
one another and bond together in a fluid and dynamic lattice in which the bonds from and
dissolve at a rate that depends on the temperature: faster if the water is hot, more slowly if it is
cold. At 0°C, the bonds become stable and water solidifies into ice; at 100°C, the bonds become
too fragile and water turns into a gas: steam
Like tiny magnets, water molecules attach themselves to substances, they slip into
crystals, break the bonds and dissolve the matter. Water is an extraordinary solvent, it dissolves
all manner of substances, but only those that, like it, have a polar nature: salt, sugar, lime,
bicarbonate. Neutral molecules, that is those without surface electric charges, are also known
as non-polar and do not dissolve in water. Water rejects them and they, if immersed in liquid,
aggregate in large drops, as oil does on the surface of a glass of water. Interactions between the
water solvent, solutes and non-polar molecules are the chemical basis of life.
Water covers 71% of Earth’s surface, but occupies only a thousandth of the total volume
of the planet. If all the water on Earth were collected in a sphere, it would be a sphere sixteen
times smaller than the moon. Water is a vital daily presence, so familiar that it makes us lose
sight of its mysterious origin. Where does the water in our glass that of the seas, or the water
that makes up 70% of our bodies come from? The debate on the origin of the water on our
planet has not yet been solved. According to some theories, water has an extra-terrestrial
origin, according to others it was formed at the same time as Earth.
Water is present almost everywhere. If the earth’s map is observed keenly, it is found
that most of the area is blue in color, indicating the presence of water. About 71% of the earth’s
surface is covered with water. Water is present in oceans, seas, lakes, rivers, ice caps, as
groundwater and in the atmosphere. Water exists in different forms.
Precipitation occurs in the form of rain or snow. Rainwater falls on earth and flows to
the rivers and lakes and some of the rainwater is absorbed by the earth’s surface. The
groundwater gets replenished by rains. This cycle continues in order to maintain the water
balance on the surface of the earth.
