Please explain this topic in brief "How can the phenomenon of evaporation be explained in terms of the kinetic molecular theory"?

Dear student,
Since the kinetic energy of a molecule is proportional to its temperature, evaporation proceeds more quickly at higher temperatures. As the faster-moving molecules escape, the remaining molecules have lower average kinetic energy, and the temperature of the liquid decreases. 
Regards
