    which evaporation occurs is surface area. Surface area of a liquid could be defined as the area or amount of water which in constant contact with the atmosphere. Surface area plays a large role in our weather systems, as shown by our oceans. Our oceans our widely exposed to the atmosphere and have a large surface area. This in turn allows them to produce most of the moisture in the air through evaporation. The change in the rate of evaporation by surface area is evident for all eyes in the proceeding

    Blood pressure is the blood's exerted force against an area of ​​the blood vessel wall, its function is to maintain a constant flow in the heart, brain and kidneys, pressure is determined by the pumping force of the heart and the elasticity of cups. Blood pressure has two key factors, cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance. Cardiac output (CG) is the amount of blood that is expelled by the heart in one minute from the left (or right) ventricle into the aorta. Peripheral vascular resistance

    Introduction A volcano is said to be a rapture which occurs in the crust of the earth and it allows lava, dangerous gasses as well as volcanic ash to escape to the surface of the earth from the magma which is placed in areas below the earth. The volcanic activities on earth have a deep history which shows that they have been active for a long time. The volcanoes on earth usually occur when the crust on the surface of the earth is broken into tectonic plates. The tectonic plates usually float on

    help the water cycle since without evaporation there would be no rain and no rain means no plants and no plants means no oxygen, meaning no us. Another thing apart from heat that helps evaporation is air pressure. If the pressure is high it means that water won't evaporate as fast, since the pressure pushes the molecules down making it hard for them to escape. (4) In this article named How Relative Humidity Affects Evaporation written by Atula Gupta we discuss how relative humidity affects evaporation
