Millions of tons of water vapour are evaporated into the air daily from oceans, lakes and rivers, and by transpiration from trees, crops and other plant life.

at waht temperature sea water evaporate..i never seen sea water get heated to 100 deg

The answer has nothing to do with temperature, to forget about the temperature of the water. Ever heard of freeze drying? Evaporating water in a vacuum in less than 32 degree air temperature. It has to do with the humidity of the air. You can't evaporate water in to an atmosphere of 100% humidity but you can at any point less than 100% no matter what the temp of the air or the water. Ice will evaporate and it does not have to go through a liquid state first.

Water on a concrete road evaporates when there is bright sunshine.Does it mean that the surface reaches a temperature of 100 degrees celcious? Hence evaporation takes place at all tempetaures depending upon the atmospheric and surface conditions.

Water evaporates at all temperatures. For example, wet clothes that are frozen in the Arctic will dry because the ice evaporates. Snow evaporates. Water evaporates at all temps.

Ah, the temperature of the sea reflects the commonly used kinetic ability of its molecules, yet some molecules are extra equivalent than others, and have larger ability than the commonly used. Molecules with sufficiently severe ability can leave the water. Evaporation cools liquid because of the fact it leaves at the back of much less energetic molecules, reducing their trouble-free kinetic ability and hence the temperature of the liquid. additionally, the place does the warmth of vaporization come from? If it comes from the liquid, the liquid is added cooled thereby. Evaporation is likewise trouble-loose to relax the air into which the evaporation happens, suggesting that a minimum of various the warmth of vaporization comes from the air.

water boils at 100 C
but i guess it begins evaporating earlier
