← GeographyWhich process explains enhanced evaporative cooling around streams globally?
A)Increased latent heat flux✓
B)Reduced convection limitation
C)Elevated free convection heat flux
D)Diminished radiative heat transfer
💡 Explanation
Increased water availability in streams means more evaporation, thus leading to enhanced latent heat flux from that surface; this is a consequence of available evaporating surface, because surface-air vapour pressure reduces evaporation rather than temperature differences determining sensible heat flux.
