Does a larger exposed surface area causes evaporation?
Yes,a larger exposed surface area makes evaporation faster,for eg-: tea kept in a cup cools slowly than tea kept in the saucer because evaporation takes place quicker at the saucer because the saucer has a wider surface area than the cup.So the particles of tea evaporate fast hence cooling down.
What surface area is larger baseball or soccer?
A soccer ball has a larger radius than a baseball, so it has more surface area.
Is true that small cells have larger surface area to volume rations than do larger cells?
Cell have a greater surface area to volume rations than a larger cell.
How does surface area effect heat loss?
the larger the surface area you have, to more heat that you are going to lose.
What happens to surface area to volume ratios for larger and larger cubes?
They grow
How does increase in temperature surface area wind speed affect evaporation?
These are all variables used to calculate evaporation rate: The larger the surface area the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the wind speed the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the temperature the higher the evaporation (rate) The higher the relative humidity the lower the evaporation (rate)
Effect of surface area on evaporation?
The larger the area the faster the evaporation.
How does the area of exposed surface affect evaporation?
The larger the exposed surface area - the faster evaporation occurs.
Why does water cool down quicker in a tray with a larger surface area?
Evaporation.
Why does water evaporate when the water is spread over a larger surface?
The area exposed to evaporation in the atmosphere is larger.
How does increase in surface area effect rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is sometimes called a surface phenomenon. The molecules on the surface of the liquid tend to suspend themselves in the atmosphere. To change these liquid molecules to gaseous form they require heat energy. They take energy called latent heat from the surrounding particles and thus change themselves to gas molecules. That is why evaporation is called surface phenomenon. As it takes latent heat from the surrounding particles it also causes cooling.
Does a larger exposed surface area causes evaporation?

What is the relationship between surface area and rate of evaporation?
Evaporation is a process that takes place at the surface of a liquid, therefore the rate of evaporation is directly related to the surface area. Twice as much surface area will give you twice as much evaporation.
Why plates will dry faster when placed on rack?
There is greater exposed surface area
How does surface area affect the rate of evaporation?
The bigger the surface area of water the more evaporation will take place.
Does water evaporate quicker on a bigger surface area?
I believe only surface water, ie water in contact with air, evaporates.Therefore the larger the surface area,the faster the evaporation.......Tony
How does surface area affect the evaporation rate of water?
The bigger the surface area of water the more evaporation will take place.
