Panting allows evaporation of water and heat across the moist surfaces of the lungs, tongue, and surfaces within the mouth.

If you've got it, flaunt it — and your hair will remain perfect until the excess energy you used powering two hair dryers will hasten the world's expenditure of fossil fuels to the point where we can no longer afford the electricity to power hair dryers, and instead resort into walking into darkened caves full of bats and allowing the collective heat of their tiny nocturnal bodies to hasten the evaporation of our surplus hair water.

Cooler night temperatures also allow the scanner to stay cool and minimize the evaporation of water from the surface during the scanning procedure.

Drip irrigation — plastic tubing to water the trees» roots — would minimize the amount of water lost to evaporation and seepage into sandy soils, allowing trees to prosper in areas that are parched today.

% due to eruption 9.5 % (assuming the average thickness of melted ice was 1 meter, and not allowing for any of the heat being lost to warming the 4 km thick sea water column, or air, or evaporation)

The increased area of warm water on the surface allows the tropical Pacific Ocean to discharge more heat than normal into the atmosphere through evaporation.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

* When it's warmer, the evaporation of water speeds up, allowing the ground to heat up faster, which then evaporates more water in a vicious cycle which continues until meaningful rain stops it.

The oceans and seas absorb the heat from the atmosphere and redistribute it through the means of water currents, and atmospheric processes, such as evaporation and the reflection of light allow for the cooling and warming of the overlying atmosphere.

Notable among these are Wentz et al. (2007), who suggest that the IPCC has failed to allow for two - thirds of the cooling effect of evaporation in its evaluation of the water vapor - feedback; and Spencer (2007), who points out that the cloud - albedo feedback, regarded by the IPCC as second in magnitude only to the water - vapor feedback, should in fact be negative rather than strongly positive.

For example, the root system of forest trees facilitates both storage and extraction of moisture from soil; biogenic aerosols produced by trees control the intensity of water vapor condensation over the forest; the large height of trees determines the vertical temperature gradient under the canopy, keeping soil evaporation under biotic control; tall trees are also essential for surface friction that does not allow extremely high wind velocities to develop.
