Select all of the following that affect evapotranspiration rates.
A) net radiation
B) air temperature
C) relative humidity
D) wind speed
E) specific humidity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Evapotranspiration rates are influenced by net radiation (energy available for the evaporation process), air temperature (higher temperatures increase evaporation rates), relative humidity (lower humidity enhances evaporation as the air can hold more water vapor), and wind speed (increased wind speed removes moisture more quickly from the surface, enhancing evaporation). Specific humidity is a measure of the water vapor content of the air but does not directly affect the rate of evapotranspiration.
