Dear student,
 
Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase.
The rate of evaporation is affected by,
(1) Temperature: Evaporation increases with an increase in temperature.
(2) Surface Area: Evaporation increases with an increase in surface area.
(3) Humidity: Evaporation decreases with an increase in humidity.
(4) Wind speed: Evaporation increases with wind speed.
