If energy is limited in evaporation, why can the rate remain limited even with a large humidity deficit?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because water molecules need latent heat to become vapour
Evaporation needs both humidity deficit and energy. Exam tip: identify energy-limited evaporation separately.
