An example of a substance changing from solid to liquid is ice cream. When ice cream is taken out of the freezer and warms up, it melts from a solid to a liquid state.
Clothes dry faster on a windy day because the wind increases air circulation, which speeds up evaporation. The moving air helps remove moisture from the surface of the clothes more efficiently than still air.
To speed up drying clothes on a rainy day, use a fan or dehumidifier to increase air circulation and reduce humidity. Alternatively, use a heater to warm the air, which enhances evaporation.
If evaporation ceased, water wouldn’t turn into vapor to form clouds or precipitation. This would disrupt the water cycle, leading to droughts, reduced freshwater availability, and severe impacts on ecosystems and agriculture.
