Where will you find the maximum rate of evaporation: ocean, pond, or aquarium?

Give a reason to support your answer.

The answer is Ocean .
Oceans are larger than ponds and or an aquarium. Hence they possess wider exposed surface with more number of free surface molecules.Greater the number of surface molecules, greater number of molecules may escape from the surface easily..and hence greater will be the rate of evaporation. The rate of evaporation depends even on the external climatic conditions such as Temperature, Wind, Pressure etc. Higher the temperature. higher will be the rate of evaporation.

the ocean because of the fact that in an aquarium if its indoors the sun wont hit it at al even if its outdoors the ocean is way to huge and its because of the ocean that we have clouds. Pond, same thing the ocean beats it

The maximum rate of evaporation occurs in the ocean due to its larger surface area, which allows more water molecules to escape. Factors like temperature, wind, and atmospheric pressure also play essential roles in increasing evaporation rates. Therefore, the ocean has a higher evaporation rate than ponds or aquariums.
