Evaporation is a type of vaporization of a liquid that occurs only on the surface of a liquid. The other type of vaporization is boiling, which, instead, occurs on the entire mass of the liquid.
On average, the molecules in a glass of water do not have enough heat energy to escape from the liquid. With sufficient heat, the liquid would turn into vapor quickly (see boiling point). When the molecules collide, they transfer energy to each other in varying degrees, based on how they collide. Sometimes the transfer is so one-sided for a molecule near the surface that it ends up with enough energy to 'escape' (evaporate).
Evaporation is an essential part of the water cycle. The sun (solar energy) drives evaporation of water from oceans, lakes, moisture in the soil, and other sources of water. In hydrology, evaporation and transpiration (which involves evaporation within plant stomata) are collectively termed evapotranspiration. Evaporation of water occurs when the surface of the liquid is exposed, allowing molecules to escape and form water vapor; this vapor can then rise up and form clouds.
Direct light - nothing we can see by
In turn we live by touch
Blind as our first moments
All white and flame
Become the darkness see too much
And what glows warm behind us
Casts a shadow limp as sleep
It goes on forever
Or it seems that way
The words unspoken the line uncrossed
Those dark eyes conceal their life within them
Buried secrets - the flesh won't keep
Only motion makes him
And he grows more still
A stronger impulse sinks more deep
And the sky grows white above us
Our love a fact
Like any other
Like a muscle pulsing in a seabird's wing
The last time that I saw you was on stage in a video
Alive and high kicking at Hammersmith O...
So good
So good
I can close my eyes and picture movement so serene
Beauty in full motion a true whimsical princess...
Oh yes...
So good, so sensual
So good, so sensual, sensual, sensual...
Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to?
Where did you go?
Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you
So much
Although a decade has passed I still think of you
It only seems like yesterday
I know you are no child but I can feel your innocence
When I visualise, in my mind, in my head, oh yes!
I doubt if you'll ever know me
But it would warm me so much if you did, oh if you did
You take all my breath away and send my pulse a racing
Into overdrive, you do...
Without fail
So good, so sensual
So good, so sensual, sensual
Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to?
Where did you go?
Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you
So much
Not so much as a whisper you further the enigma
Although it seems like yesterday
If only I could talk to you
If only I could meet you
If only we could harmonise together
If only I could sing with you
If only I could breath you
Maybe we could harmonise together
Evaporation, evaporation, where did you go to?
Where did you go?
Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you
So much
Evaporation, evaporation, it's good to see you back again
In the fold
Evaporation, evaporation, I've really missed you
So much
Don't stay too long
Don't evaporate
