The two factors that affect evaporation are:

  1. Increase in temperature - Higher temperatures provide more energy to water molecules, allowing them to overcome intermolecular forces and evaporate more easily.

  2. Increase in surface area - A larger surface area allows more molecules to be exposed to the air, increasing the rate of evaporation.

Thus, the correct responses are "increase in temperature" and "increase in surface area."
