Why is the rate of evaporation from ocean surfaces generally higher in summer than in winter?

Correct answer: गर्मियों में सौर विकिरण और तापमान अधिक होते हैं (Solar radiation and temperature are higher in summer)

Correct answer: B. Evaporation occurs when some molecules at the water surface gain enough energy to escape into the air as water vapour. In summer, stronger solar radiation and generally higher air and surface-water temperatures supply more energy to these molecules. As a result, evaporation is usually faster, although wind speed, humidity, and salinity also influence the exact rate. A is not generally correct; wind can increase evaporation in either season by removing moist air from above the surface. C is not the main explanation, and increased salinity would generally make evaporation slightly more difficult, not explain the seasonal pattern. D is wrong because seasonal heating commonly changes the average rate. Memory cue: more available heat usually means more evaporation.
