Detailed explanation-1: -If water never evaporated, there would be no rain because rain clouds could never form. If there was no rain, there would likely be no water on large masses of land, outside of lakes.
Detailed explanation-2: -A drought occurs if there is no rainfall for a long time. Usually, water lost by soil due to evaporation is retuned to it by rains. But no rainfall occurs for a long time, it leads to a decrease in the water level of various ponds and wells. This leads to the condition of drought.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Atmosphere and the Water Cycle Water at the Earth’s surface evaporates into water vapor which rises up into the sky to become part of a cloud which will float off with the winds, eventually releasing water back to Earth as precipitation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Air pressure also affects evaporation. If air pressure is high on the surface of a body of water, then the water will not evaporate easily. The pressure pushing down on the water makes it difficult for water to escape into the atmosphere as vapor. Storms are often high-pressure systems that prevent evaporation.
