A.Heating liquid water makes evaporation happen faster. Heating the liquid increases the kinetic energy (motion) of all the liquid molecules, so there are more fast-moving molecules that can escape the surface.
B. For molecules of liquid water to change to water vapor, kinetic energy is required, or the energy of movement. As faster-moving molecules evaporate, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of ocean water thus decreaseswaterdecreasdecreaseswater
