- The volcanoes on early Earth pumped more and more water vapour into the atmosphere. This caused the atmosphere to change.
- As the water vapour increased and the temperature of the Earth and its atmosphere continued to fall. This caused water droplets to form in the atmosphere through a process called condensation.
- As the water droplets increased in size, they eventually fell to the surface of the Earth and accumulated. This was the beginning of the first oceans.
- The carbon dioxide gas reacted with the accumulated water (dissolution) and the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased. Eventually, living organisms appeared in the oceans. The organisms that evolved used the carbon dioxide available in the oceans in different ways. Some of the marine organisms incorporated the carbon dioxide into their shells. When those organisms died their shells accumulated on the floor of the oceans and became carbonate rocks.
- Other marine organisms began to use carbon dioxide in chemical reactions to produce sugars that they could store for energy and release oxygen into the atmosphere. This process is called photosynthesis. These organisms were the first primitive plants.

Do clouds form from water produced by condensation or from water vapour in the air?
It contains the potential of ways
What does water vapour means?
a pure gas of oxygen and hydrogen The water cycle is driven by the Sun's energy. When water evaporates, it turns into the invisible gas called water vapour.
What are the conditions under which clouds form?
For clouds to form, you need several things:1. Water vapour in the air2. Falling temperatures3. Condensation nuclei: tiny little particles of soot, ocean salt, dustWarm air holds water vapour much better than cold air does. Cold, humid air can't hold as much water as it could when it was warm. So, if you have a bunch of warm, humid air, and temperatures fall, the water vapour in the air turns back into tiny little droplets of liquid water. This is called condensation. But in order to form a cloud, the droplets need something to condense on,which is why condensation nuclei are necessary.This really helped me for a 30 PAGE PROJECT
What is liquid that condenses from water vapor on surface?
Condensation
When does the process of condensation take place?
Heat radiation causes water vapour from lakes and oceans to go up into the clouds. When the clouds form it is condensation. Or... The clouds get so heavy, that it moves to another area and makes flurries, snow, or rain:)
Condensation occurs when?
Condensation occurs in cold when water vapour condense to form tiny droplets of water.
What is it called when water vapour joins together to form droplets?
Condensation.
What is the term for when water rises up to form clouds?
evaporation is when water vapour rises up and condensation is when water vapour turns into clouds
Do clouds form from water produced by condensation or from water vapour in the air?
It contains the potential of ways
When does water from the lakes and oceans enter the atmosphere?
when the water turns into gas form as water vapour
What conditions must be present to frost to form?
water vapour/ cold /and a condensation medium
Where does condensation occur in the water cycle?
The water vapour in the air condenses to form liquid. It occurs in the air.
Why do water droplets form on the inner wall of a covered cup of hot water?
Because it's mixing between either water vapour and condensation or steam and condensation(most likely)
What is condensing and evaporating?
Evaporation is the process of water becoming a vapour. Condensation is the cooling of the water vapour back into a liquid.
What is difference between vaporization and condensation?
Condensation is where a vapour (gas) is cooled, and droplets of liquid form. Vapourisation is where a liquid is heated, and the liquid turns into vapour (gas).
When is condensation more likely to occur?
Condensation usually occurs on a surface that is cooler than the adjacent gas. A substance condenses when the pressure exerted by its vapour exceeds the vapour pressure of its liquid or solid phase at the temperature of the surface where the condensation is to occur. The process causes the release of thermal energy. Condensation occurs on a glass of cold water on a warm, humid day when water vapour in the air condenses to form liquid water on the glass's colder surface. Condensation also accounts for the formation of dew, fog, rain, snow, and clouds.
What occurs when particles in a gas lose enough energy to form a liquid.?
condensation. eg is like in clouds, water vapour changes to water droplets ^^
