What causes water to evaporate?

  • 1

Water evaporates when it absorbs heat energy, which increases the kinetic energy of its molecules. This energy allows the molecules to escape from the liquid state into the gas phase as water vapor.

  1. Evaporation occurs when water molecules at the surface gain enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces and transition into the gas phase as water vapor. This process happens when water absorbs heat, increasing molecular kinetic energy. Factors like temperature, humidity, and surface area affect evaporation rates. It’s a key process in the water cycle, contributing to cloud formation and weather patterns.
