Evapotranspiration Illustration

Detailed Description

When the sun heats the Earth's surface, water evaporates from land and water surfaces, and plants release moisture through transpiration, both of which return to the atmosphere. Evapotranspiration, or ET, is the combined process of evaporation and transpiration. The higher the temperatures the more evapotranspiration occurs.
