How does strong wind generally affect the rate of evaporation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It increases it

Answer: B, it increases evaporation. Evaporation occurs when liquid water changes into water vapour at a surface. After evaporation begins, the air immediately above the surface can become moist. Strong wind moves this moist air away and replaces it with relatively drier air, allowing more water molecules to escape from the surface. Therefore, wind generally increases the rate of evaporation, especially when other conditions allow evaporation. A is incorrect because removing moist air usually prevents the air near the surface from becoming saturated quickly. C is incorrect because wind does not stop the change from liquid to vapour. D is incorrect because wind alone does not turn evaporated water directly into rainfall; rain requires later atmospheric processes such as cooling, condensation, and precipitation. Memory cue: moving air clears the moist layer above water and helps evaporation continue.
