This occurs through vaporization, either by evaporation or boiling.
Water molecules in a liquid state are in dynamic equilibrium with the atmosphere: while some molecules are leaving the surface as a gas, others are leaving the gas phase to merge with the liquid. Evaporation, normally caused by heating, occurs when more energetic molecules are leaving the liquid than are returning to the liquid. At the boiling point, all of the molecules have sufficient energy to change phase to gas, and will do so if there are nucleation points. Otherwise, liquid may be superheatedpast the boiling point and spontaneously flash to steam when nucleation occurs. This can be observed by (carefully)stirring water that has been heated in a microwave to over 100°C.

Sublimation is the process by which?
It is the process from when a solid turns into a gas.
What process by which water vapor turns into a liquid state?
condensationCondensation is where water vapor turns to liquid. The process is where gas turns to water then vapor and then turns back into liquid.
What is water vapor is?
Water vapor is simply water in the form of a gas. Liquid water turns into water vapor through a process called evaporation.
The process of rain?
The basic process of rain is this: The sun heats up water, and turns it into a gas. Then the gases rise and form clouds, and when dense enough drop the water as rain.
What process turns water to earth?
There is no process that "turns water to earth". Alchemy has been discredited for centuries.
What is the process in which water turns to water vapor?
condensationCondensation is where water vapor turns to liquid. The process is where gas turns to water then vapor and then turns back into liquid.
What are the 2 types of vaporation?
When liquid water turns into a gas or vapor, the process is evaporation. When solid water (ice) turns into a gas or vapor, the process is sublimation.
What is the process in which water turns to a gas?
Evaporation and vaporization.
When water turns from a gas to a liquid the process is called what?
condensation
What process of water changing into a gas?
The evaporation is the process that turns into a gas. If we never had the sun... No processes would work.
What is the process that every time a liquid turns into a gas it undergoes this process?
Boiling - when the liquid is heated to a gas. Evaporating - when the air temperature is hotter than the surface of the liquid so the water turns into water vapor or a gas.
How are evaporation and condesation the same how are they different?
they are same because they are part of the water cycle and they are different because evaporation is the process by which water changing to gas but condensation is the process by which gas changing into water.
Sublimation is the process by which?
It is the process from when a solid turns into a gas.
Water turns from liquid to gas in a process called .?
Evaporation.
What is Condensation deposits?
Conensation is the process in which gas turns into a liquid state. It is considered the opposite of evaporation, which turns liquids into gas.
What is when water turns from gas?
When it turns into gas, it is evaporation. When gas turns into water, it's precipitation.
What is the difference between evaporation and condesation?
Condensation is the process in which a gas turns to liquid.Evaporation is the process in which a liquid turns to gas.
