The process of evaporation of water to gas releases stored energy called ________.
A) convection
B) latent heat
C) advection
D) compression
E) conduction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When water evaporates, it changes state from liquid to gas, and this process requires energy. This energy is called latent heat, which is released into the surrounding environment during evaporation. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Convection, advection, compression, and conduction are all related to the movement or transfer of heat, but they do not directly apply to the release of energy during evaporation.
