Question

Assertion (A): Greater the movement of air, greater is the evaporation.

Reason (R): Movement of air replaces the saturated air with the unsaturated air.

Options

• Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

• Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct reason for A.

• A is true, and R is false.

• A is false, and R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct reason for A.

Explanation:

Greater movement of air increases evaporation because moving air continually replaces the moist, saturated air near the surface with drier, unsaturated air. This prevents the air from becoming saturated and allows evaporation to continue at a higher rate.
