What happens to water vapor in the water cycle?
It rises into the air and condenses to become clouds.
When water rises in the air what is it called?
water vapor
Which gas is most variable within the troposphere?
water vapor is the anwser
When water vapor condenses as it rises high in the atmosphere because it what?
cools down
Why do clouds form as the air rises?
As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.
What happens water vapor rises and cools?
It becomes condensation.The water vapor turns into a liquid
What happens to water vapor as if it rises and higher in the air?
it will precipitate
What happens when the water vapor rises and cools?
It condenses into liquid.
What happens to water vapor as it rises higher into the air?
it condenses
What happens to water vapor in the water cycle?
It rises into the air and condenses to become clouds.
How does the troposphere hold water vapor?
Water vapor is held by the troposphere in between molecules of atmospheric gases like oxygen, nitrogen and argon. Most of the water vapor in the troposphere is realized through transpiration off the earth's surface.
What happens when water vapor rises and it cools off?
Because air is cooler at higher altitudes in the troposphere, water vapor cools as it rises high in the atmosphere and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation. The water droplets that form make up clouds.
Does troposphere has air and water vapor?
Yes
Describe what happens when water vapor rises and cools to the dew point?
As water vapor cools to the dew point it converts from a gas back to a liquid.
The Sun heats the Earth's water. This warm water turns into a vapor and rises into the atmosphere where it cools off. What happens to this water vapor?
It condenses - to form clouds.
Where and how do clouds form?
Clouds form in the upper troposphere. They form like this: Water on Earth's surface evaporates (turns into water vapor), and rises. When it gets to the upper troposphere, the water vapor starts turning back into water, staying as mist mostly, and mixes with dust. When the amount of water is to heavy, it starts to precipitate. Then, the precipitation evaporates on Earth's surface and the cycle begins again.
What layer contains the most water vapor?
the layer (of the earth) that contains the most water vapor is the troposphere
