Evaporate
Definition 1 of 2
Pro Tip 1/3
Heat Requirement
Evaporate usually involves heat. It implies a substance turns into gas when warmed. If you heat water, it will eventually evaporate.
Pro Tip 2/3
Natural Process
Evaporation can occur in natural settings without human intervention, like lakes under sunlight. Puddles evaporate more quickly on a hot day.
Pro Tip 3/3
Gradual Change
Evaporation isn't instant; it happens over time, often unnoticed until much has evaporated. I didn't notice how much my drink evaporated in the heat.
