2 2 points Explain Latent heat of vaporization of water 3 2

#2 [2 points] Explain \"Latent heat of vaporization\" of water #3 [2 points] Evapotranspiration from forest area is higher than cropland area. Explain \"why\" or \"why not\"? #4 [2 points] Write two major mechanisms that cause “evaporation\" to take place. #5 [2+3 points] Define both Actual ET and Potential or Reference ET (PET), and explain the difference. [Hint: ET=K, Ks ETO]

Solution

2) When a material in liquid state is given energy, it changes its phase from liquid to vapor; the energy absorbed in this process is called heat of vaporization. The heat of vaporization of water is about 2,260 kJ/kg, The vaporization is the opposite process of condensation
