a). Refer to the graph and Give a brief/general comment on the relationship of the plots for oceans, continents and overal evaporation rates with latitudes. b). Explain the reasons why oceans have higher actual evaporation rates (from your graph and table) than the continents. c). Evaporation rates decreases over the earth's surface with increasing latitudes as evident from the table and your graphs. Explain the reason for this?
