Question

2. Which two factors affect evaporation?(2 points)
Responses

increase in temperature
increase in temperature

Increase in surface area
Increase in surface area

Decrease in wind speed
Decrease in wind speed

Answer 1

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."
