What best describes the process of water vapor cooling down as it rises and forming clouds?
changing heat energy into kinetic energy
In order for clouds to form what must be present in the atmosphere for water vapor to condense on?
Water vapor or the heat
What effect does water vapor and carbon dioxide play into the greenhouse effect?
Water vapor and carbon dioxide both absorb heat. The sun's heat rises from the surface of the earth and is captured by these greenhouse gases. This natural greenhouse effect has kept the earth warm for millions of years. Too much greenhouse gas, unfortunately, is causing climate change.
What increases airs ability to hold water vapor?
Heat. Hot air holds more vapor than cold air. This is why we get rain when hot air rises, cools down, and the water vapor condenses out to form rain drops. It's also why we get clouds, the vapor condenses when the air gets cold at altitude but not enough to form droplets and fall from the sky.
When water vapor condenses how much heat is released into the atmosphere?
You get about 2260 joules for every gram of water vapor that condenses.
How does liquid water become vapor water?
Actually its water vapor instead of vapor water. Anyways, the water has to have enough heat to become so hot that it doesn't boil but turns to steam and rises becoming water vapor.
How can convergence lead to the form of clouds?
the parcel of the air rises high emough , it will eventually cool to its dew point . the process of condensation begins . from this point on as the air rises , laten heat of condensat5ion stored in the water vapor will be released :)
How does heat cause ocean currents?
Warm water expands and rises, cool water contracts and sinks.

How does evaporation contribute to the development of storms?
When water vapor condenses, it gives off energy or heat. That heat drives hurricanes and all other storms associated with rain. When the Ocean is warm, more water can evaporate. Then when the water vapor rises to the clouds, more water vapor can condense and provide heat, rain, and wind to make the hurricane stronger. If the ocean is cooler, less water can evaporate. Then, less water vapor can condense. The hurricane will get weaker. Very few hurricanes form in winter and those that do are quite weak.
Which kind of air holds the highest amount of water vapor out of warm air cool airdry air and medium-temperatured air?
its specific humidity. it specifies the heat as it is the warm air of water vapor
How does ice to water to water vapor?
Heat causes the ice to melt into water and the water evaporates into vapor.
What is the effect when heat is added to a liquid?
Temperature rises, liquid starts boiling becoming vapor
What happens when you heat and cool air?
When you heat air, the air pressure rises and the particles expand.
When you heat water it become what?
vapor
Why do molecules rise when they get warmer?
Because the water molecules which are far inside the liquid experience an outward force, and has no maximum potential energy.
What does evaporation of the sea water do to the hurricane?
Evaporation of sea water does absolutely nothing for a hurricane except provide water vapor. When the water vapor turns back to water in the form of rain it gives off heat. Hurricanes are massive heat engines. As long as they have water vapor to turn into heat they can continue blowing along. Without water vapor, the hurricane has no source of heat.
