    Question

    Choose the wrong statement.

    A The rate of evaporation is fairly independent of the size of the measuring pan under high humidity conditions. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B The rate of evaporation is influenced by the size of the measuring pan when the air is dry. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Lysimeters are commonly used for measuring evapotranspiration from a crop. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Lysimeters are made to float in water bodies with suitable rafts for measuring water loss. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    This statement is wrong because lysimeters do not float; they are instruments typically buried in the ground for measuring the amount of water that percolates through soil and is used for evapotranspiration.
