Question

Why is evaporation important to the water cycle? Evaporation provides humidity. Evaporation prevents water levels from rising too high. Evaporation allows water to enter the atmosphere and be transported elsewhere. Evaporation keeps water temperatures cool.

Answer 1

There would be no rain if evaporation did not occur. As a result, most plants would dry up. The humidity of the air replenishes via evaporation, primarily from the oceans and plants. It plays a significant role in the energy exchange that results in atmospheric motion, affecting weather and climate in the Earth-atmosphere system.

Answer 2

Evaporation allows water to enter the atmosphere and also it affects many weather patterns- water needs to cycle up into the atmosphere to make it rain.
