Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The two main factors that affect potential evapotranspiration are temperature and latitude. Temperature determines the amount of energy available for evapotranspiration, while latitude affects the duration of daylight and the angle of incoming solar radiation, both of which influence the temperature. Precipitation and other factors can also influence evapotranspiration, but temperature and latitude are the primary drivers.
