So is boiling evaporation throughout the liquid do toSo is boiling forced evaporation?Vaporization occurs at any liquid-gaseous interface -- even
at equilibrium, whereat a characteristic vapor pressure
exists because of confinement. Boiling occurs throughout a
liquid when conditions of temperature and pressure allow
vapor bubbles that form at container nucleation sites to
persist all the way to the upper surface. The onset of
boiling is characteristically noisy as the incipient vapor
bubbles form but quickly collapse against the container
surface being heated because of the pressure of the liquid
surrounding them. Tom Ford
