Pro Tip 1/3Heat Requirement
Evaporate usually involves heat. It implies a substance turns into gas when warmed.
If you heat water, it will eventually evaporate.
Pro Tip 2/3Natural Process
Evaporation can occur in natural settings without human intervention, like lakes under sunlight.
Puddles evaporate more quickly on a hot day.
Pro Tip 3/3Gradual Change
Evaporation isn't instant; it happens over time, often unnoticed until much has evaporated.
I didn't notice how much my drink evaporated in the heat.

through cooling methods like the evaporation of sweat. But with uncompensable heat stress, your body is unable to lose enough heat due to overexertion or high temperatures in humidity, which raises your core temperature beyond normal levels. This causes the proteins and cell membranes to denature,

In addition to helping sustain life, thunderstorms also help maintain the planet's balance of energy and electricity. When energy specifically in the form of heat causes water to evaporate, the heat is carried upward with the water vapor.

Julie Wainwright
American Businesswoman
When you fail, things get real. In fact, they get real real. If your success was a high profile success, then your failure will be a high profile failure. Opportunities and 'friendships' will evaporate. Failure shines a bright light on all relationships. The ones that last are pure and true, which is a true gift.
Quote examples
Jennifer Ehle
American Actress
There's never been a game plan, and I suppose I've had an uneasy relationship with my ambition. Someone who had been in my year at drama school once said to me that I was terrifyingly ambitious back then. Which was not at all what I felt at the time - I felt paralysed with shyness, though that evaporated.

William Henry Bragg
British Physicist
When a liquid boils, the temperature has been raised to such a pitch that the evaporating molecules are sufficient in number and speed to lift off the air from the surface of the liquid and push it back en masse.

American Chef
Your goal when searing a steak is to make sure that the temperature and evaporation buckets are as small as possible, so that you can rapidly fill them up and move on to the important process of browning.

Bond in 'Goldeneye' is pretty much a set character. To be honest, he's another version of Connery, and Connery was terrific. How many submarines can you blow up? How many control rooms are evaporating?

We recognised from the start that we couldn't just stay in the U.K. and Ireland markets. We have always looked to the products of the future. I've always said, 'If you don't innovate, you'll evaporate.

The importance of human judgment does not evaporate in the future, and as connected individuals, we will have to exercise sound judgment about what we choose to share or not share about ourselves.

American Actor
If we had a hydrogen economy worldwide, every nation on earth could create its own energy source to support its economy, and the threat of war over diminishing resources would just evaporate.
