What forces are between particles?
Forces of attraction
1 of 7
How does evaporation occur?
Particles absorb heat energy causing them to move faster. Some of the particles escape from the surface. The remaining liquid is cooler.
2 of 7
What changes the speed of evaporation?
Bigger surface area, higher temperature and/or wind/fan/draft.
3 of 7
For example if you hang up a wet t-shirt, why will it speed up evaporation?
It is spread out so there is a bigger surface area and increase the rate of evaporation
4 of 7
How does condensation occur?
Particles los heat energy making them move slowly making them more closer together (Condensing from a gas to a liquid)
5 of 7
How can you increase heat loss?
Increase surface area, change the material the object is on and change the material of the object.

How does an elephant,a desert fox and an arctic fox adapt to their environment?
Elephant-Big and flat ears allow them to lose heat, Desert fox- large surface area ears-lose heat, Arctic fox- Small surface area of ears-keep heat in
