What effect does wind have on evaporation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Increases evaporation

Correct answer: D, wind increases evaporation. Water molecules leave a wet surface as vapour. If the air immediately above the surface becomes moist, it can slow further evaporation. Moving air carries this moist air away and replaces it with air that can receive more vapour, so the process generally becomes faster. This is why clothes often dry more quickly on a breezy day than in still air, although temperature and humidity also matter. A is opposite to the usual effect. B is wrong because moving air changes the moisture conditions at the surface. C describes freezing, a different process caused by sufficient cooling, not the normal effect of wind on evaporation. Memory cue: wind removes moist air and makes room for more vapour.
