Does evaporation take place more over water or land?

Answer 1

Evaporation occurs more over water bodies (rivers, lakes etc.)

Water bodies are necessary for evaporation to occur, and larger bodies of water are better suited for higher evaporation rates. Since land is primarily made up of buildings, there should be a greater ratio of water vapor entering large water bodies than leaving them.

Evaporation generally takes place more over water bodies than over land. This is because water bodies have a larger surface area exposed to the atmosphere, allowing for more water molecules to escape into the air. Additionally, water bodies tend to have higher temperatures compared to land, further increasing the rate of evaporation.
