How does wind speed increase evaporation?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It removes moist air above the surface

Direct answer: A, wind removes moist air above the surface. When water evaporates, the air immediately above the water becomes richer in water vapour. If this moist layer remains in place, the difference between the vapour content at the surface and in the surrounding air becomes smaller, so evaporation slows. Wind moves that moist air away and replaces it with air that is usually less humid. The new air can then receive more water vapour, increasing the rate of evaporation. B is wrong because wind does not turn liquid water into stone. C is wrong because wind does not block solar energy; sunlight and temperature are separate factors. D is wrong because wind transports water vapour rather than destroying it. The exact effect depends on humidity, temperature, and wind strength. Memory cue: wind refreshes the air above a wet surface.
