章节摘录

　　Evaporation is the name given to the change of water from the liquid state to the gase-ous state. Exactly how much water is evaporated is very difficult to judge accurately, al-though water vapor on the average is about 2% of the total volume of the atmos-phere. Recent studies have measured the evaporation from different sized bodies of water ata constant temperature, over a given period of time. The findings of these studies will beincorporated in the following sections.Water vapor in the atmosphere has been evaporated from various sources. The oceans,covering approximately three- quarters of the earths surface, provide most of the watervapor. Other sources are of relatively minor importance. They include rivers, creeks andinland water storage, which are continuously providing vapor for the atmosphere, as isthe moist land surface itself, particularly in tropical areas. Plants also give off moisture, aprocess referred to as transpiration.Once the atmosphere carrying this moisture moves over land areas and cools, the va-por is converted back into the liquid or solid state and, on reaching the earth, either is e-vaporated again or travels over the surface according to gravity.

•   看了还是不错的，很专业。
•   这本书确实很好，找了很多地方才找到，蛮好，而且比较快。
•   没怎么看，一直没时间研究，但是相信有用。
•   实话实说，这本书并不是技术性的读物，算是科普类的，很基础。如果想在专业技术上有大的收获，我想还是另觅他处吧。为什么我这么说，因为我一个小会计都一遍看懂了。当然，如果是想学习点词汇，还是有用滴。
•   专业性较强的英文书
•   非常一般的教科书
