Humidity is...

• the rate of evaporation

• the amount of water vapour in the air

• caused by temperature and pressure

• an artificial water source

If it is a hot and windy day with low humidity in Perth, the rate of evaporation will...

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

• I'm not sure

The amount of sunshine affects the rate of evaporation because...

• it helps it to be a nice day

• more evaporation occurs

• the particles are cooled so they go slower

• it's good to eat fish and chips

Pick the negative impact of dams...

• they are too small

• due to the large surface area, more evaporation occurs

• they are in awkward positions

• they slow the rate of evaporation

Irrigation is...

• only used in farming

• artificial watering of land that doesn't get enough water from rainfall

• a waste of water

• watering of land due to rainfall
