That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Evaporation is the process that changes water in the sea into water vapor. During evaporation, water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid surface and become a gas. This process occurs when the sun's heat causes the water to heat up and turn into vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere. Evaporation is an important part of the water cycle, as it helps to transfer water from the Earth's surface back into the atmosphere, where it can later form clouds and eventually return to the Earth as precipitation.
