How do snow affect wood?

snow can affect wood because snow turns into water and when water gets on wood it warp.


Where does white snow go when it melts?

The snow turns to water and goes in the ground.


What happened when warm air that is filled with water vapor cooled off?

When warm air filled with water vapor cools off, the water vapor condenses into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. This condensation forms clouds and, if the cooling continues, precipitation such as rain, snow, or hail may occur.


What is water cycle or hydrological cycle?

It is the cycle that rain, sleet, hail, or snow can evaporate and form a cloud and when the cloud gets heavy and depending on the weather it comes down as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, or even a mixture. Here, i will explain it better. Water (or snow) just sits there til it evaporates. The water rises as water vapor. As the water vapor rises higher and higher into the air and all the water vapor join together it forms a cloud. As more water droplets (water vapor) gather together in the the cloudit gets heavier and heavier. It eventually gets so heavy it drops as rain, sleet, hail, or snow depending on the weather. If it is hot outside it will come down as rain, only sometimes you will get hail or sleet. If it is bellow freezing (32 degrees) it might snow. Thank you for reading :).


Does snow freeze in the cloud or does it freeze in the air ONCE it comes out of the cloud?

All snow begins as snow through what is called the Bergeron process. Water droplets within a cloud get drawn to the tiny ice crystals in the cloud due to their lower vapor pressure. In doing so, they diffuse onto the ice crystals, causing them to grow. When they become large enough, they fall out of the cloud as snowflakes.

How does water or snow come out of a cloud?

because when water evaporates it forms a cloud full of water


When water falls from a cloud what forms can it take?

Rain, snow, or hail.


What are the different forms of the water cycle?

First is evaporation,which turns water to gas and floats to the sky. Second is condensation, which turns the gas into clouds and starts collecting vapor and turns it to small water droplets. Once the cloud is full with water and can't store any more, precipitation is next. The cloud pours down either rain, sleet, snow, or hail. It drops all on the ground and the whole water cycle starts all over.


How does snow form into a flake?

At first when it comes out of the cloud it is rain and it turns to ice and then to snow flakes.


What causes clouds and precipitation?

Evaporation. When ground water evaporates it turns in to water molecules. the molecules condense and form a cloud when the water in the cloud becomes too heavy the water fall in some form of precipitation. (i.e. rain, snow, sleet, hale...)


How ice crystals grow in a cloud?

Drops of rain form when water evaporates and turns into water vapor. While it is in the sky it condenses, and becomes water again. Then the water falls in droplets. If it is cold enough, these drops can also turn into sleet, hail, or snow.


How do you we get rain?

it comes from the water cycle. the sun heats up some water ( in the sea, a river ect.) and the water evaporates ( the water turns in a gas) and the gas is called water vapor. then the gas goes high in the atmosphere ( convection ) then the water vapor cools down and condenses ( gas turns into a liquid ) and turns into a cloud. then the wind blows the cloud ( usually over a mountain ) and the cloud precipitates ( rain, snow, hail or sleet happens ) then the water forms rivers, streams, lakes, ect. some of the water seeps into the ground this is called ground water. ( some water just comes back to the sea or place it was) then it all happens again... ( evaporation can also happen from the water on trees but that's called transpiration.)

What does evaporation do in the water cycle?

Evaporation: The sun heats up the water in oceans and lakes and the water turns to vapor and floats up in the sky. When a bunch of vapor collects it makes a cloud
