2. As the air temperature
increases
, what happens to the rate of evaporation?
A. evaporation increases
B. evaporation decreases
C. evaporation is
not
affected by air temperature

4. As the relative humidity
increases
, what happens to the rate of evaporation?
A. evaporation increases
B. evaporation decreases
C. evaporation is
not
affected by humidity
5. All other factors being equal and all puddles containing the same volume of water and surface area, which puddle of water will evaporate the fastest?
A. wind speed of 5 m/s above the puddle
B. wind speed of 10 m/s above the puddle
C. wind speed of 15 m/s above the puddle

6. As the temperature of an object increases, what happens to the average kinetic energy of the object’s particles?
A. increase
B. decrease
C. remain the same
7. All of the following are characteristics of the evaporation process except:
A. the changing from a liquid to a gas.
B. the process occurring relatively slowly.
C. the appearance of bubbles.
D. the appearance that the liquid is disappearing.

C. relative humidity = 50%
D. relative humidity = 70%
9. The water in a lake is slowly evaporating due to the heating of the sun. The evaporated water then condenses and forms a cloud in the sky. Which spheres of Earth are
directly
interacting to make this process occur.
A. biosphere and the atmosphere
B. geosphere and the hydrosphere
C. hydrosphere and the biosphere
D. atmosphere and the hydrosphere
