What are the steps to the water cycle and what would happen if one of these were not to happen?
First the sun evaporates rain/puddles or other liquids, then these liquids and/or dirt particles that were also evaporated condense (condensation) into clouds. After the clouds evaporate enough water condense into a full cloud, depending on the weather it would then precipitate into rain, sleet, snow, or hail. Now for the second question, if the sun didn't evaporate water there would be no water to form rain clouds. If there were no condensation there would be no rain clouds (there would be clouds just not rain clouds) and if there were no precipitation there would be no rain.
What is the source of enegry in the water cycle?
The source of energy that causes the water cycle to happen is the sun. Without the sun water would not evaporate and then it would not condense. If there is no water condensed into clouds then there wouldn't be any rain or precipitation.
How does post precipitation occurs?
The clouds evaporate the water and then when they are too heavy with water it starts to rain.
Does water and cloud and steam evaporate?
Clouds and steam are forms of evaporated water. Water is the main base for evaporation to occur. Bot clouds and steam can condense in a cool temperature, while water can bothe condense and evaporate. So they are not much alike.
What happens to water in order for precipitation to occur?
first it has to evaporate off the earths surface and go to the clouds.
What must happen before water vapor falls from clouds as rain?
Before water vapor falls from clouds as rain, it must first condense into water droplets. This condensation occurs when the water vapor in the air cools and reaches its dew point, at which point it forms visible clouds. Once the water droplets in the clouds combine and grow large enough, they fall to the ground as precipitation in the form of rain.
How does water from a lake become part of a cloud in a sky?
as the sun heats the earth, radiation causes water to evaporate. when the now water vapor rises, it begins to cool and condense. this forms clouds. and as soon and the water particles get big enough they fall from the cloud. this is known as precipitation.
Why does it rain more at night?
Rainfall at night is often more frequent because the air cools down, causing moisture in the air to condense and form clouds, which can lead to precipitation. Additionally, at night, there is less sunlight to evaporate the moisture in the air, allowing for more rain to fall.
Why is a condensation nuclei important?
Condensation nuclei are important in the atmosphere because they provide a surface for water vapor to condense onto, forming clouds and precipitation. Without condensation nuclei, it would be more difficult for clouds to form and for precipitation to occur.
What happens to the salt in the clouds after it gets picked up from the ocean?
The salt in the clouds eventually returns to the Earth's surface through precipitation, such as rain or snow. As the water droplets in the clouds condense and form precipitation, they carry the salt with them back to the ground.
What happens to water molecules when they go through the water cycle to make it back to the ocean?
Water molecules evaporate from the ocean's surface, rise into the atmosphere, condense to form clouds, and eventually fall back to Earth as precipitation. This precipitation may flow over the land's surface as runoff, eventually making its way back to the ocean through rivers and streams.
What does precipitation fall from?
Precipitation falls from clouds in the atmosphere. It can include rain, snow, sleet, or hail depending on the temperature and atmospheric conditions at the time.
