Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Moisture evaporation is the process by which water molecules absorb heat energy in the atmosphere and then move into the vapor phase, resulting in a decrease in temperature. This occurs because water requires heat to change from a liquid to a gas, and this heat is drawn from the surrounding environment. Options A, C, and D do not result in a decrease in air temperature. Condensation releases heat, which warms the surrounding air, contact with warm surfaces can cause a transfer of heat and solar radiation can warm the air.
