Evaporation is a process which tends to keep temperatures cooler where it occurs.This is because the atmosphere:
A)increases the outgoing radiation.
B)reduces the absorption of solar energy.
C)increases the reflection of solar energy.
D)uses energy to change the phase of water instead of increasing air temperature.
E)increases the specific heat.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evaporation uses energy to change the phase of water instead of increasing air temperature, which means that the surrounding air is not being warmed up, keeping the temperature cooler. The other options are not directly related to the process of evaporation.
