Water

//**__Evaporation __**//
1) The rate of evaporation can be affected by the temperature of the surrounding air,  the amount of wind and the amount of exposed surface area.  2) Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. 3) Evaporation is an essential part in the water cycle. 4) Evaporation is a process where by water converted from a liquid state to a  gaseous state, so it transformed from land and water masses to the atmosphere.

//__** Boiling And Melting **__//
 * (1)Boiling is the change in state of water from a liquid to a gas state due to heat gain. **
 * (2)Melting is the change in state of water from a solid to a liquid due to heat gain. **
 * (3)When a solid turns into a liquid it is called melting. There is a temperature at **
 * which this happens called the melting point. As the energy in the molecules **
 * increases from the temperature the molecules start moving faster. Soon they have **
 * enough energy to break free of their rigid structure and start moving around **
 * more easily. The matter becomes a liquid. The melting point for water is 0 **
 * degrees C (32 degrees F). **
