What is the effect of wind on the rate of evaporation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Wind can increase evaporation

Correct answer: D. Wind can increase evaporation because moving air removes the moist layer of air that forms just above a wet surface. Once this moist air is carried away, drier air reaches the surface and can accept more water vapour. This is why clothes often dry faster on a breezy day, provided other conditions are suitable. A is incorrect because wind can clearly change the rate. B is incorrect because wind does not always stop evaporation; it commonly speeds it up. C is incorrect because evaporation can happen during both day and night whenever liquid water has suitable energy and surrounding conditions. D is correct, though the exact rate also depends on temperature, humidity, exposed surface area, and other conditions. Very strong or unusual conditions do not change the basic school-level principle. Memory cue: moving air removes moisture, so drying becomes faster.
