Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Consider a scenario where two water bodies are exposed to different amounts of solar radiation: one in full sunlight and the other in shade. How would the evaporation rates compare, and what factors may contribute to this difference?
💡 Hint: Focus on the source of energy affecting evaporation.
Design a simple observational study to track the evaporation function across different times of day with varying solar radiation levels. Include methodology and expected outcomes.
💡 Hint: Consider environmental controls and fair comparison strategies.
