What else can I help you with?
What happens when water gains more energy?
It starts to flow faster!
What happens to the potential energy of water as gravity pulls the water downhill?
As water is pulled downhill by gravity, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water gains speed and momentum while flowing downhill.
What happens to the state of water as water gains heat?
As water gains heat, it transitions from a solid (ice) to a liquid (water) and eventually to a gas (water vapor) as it reaches its boiling point. This process involves absorbing energy to break the intermolecular bonds holding the water molecules together.
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.
When does the water evaporation happens?
Evaporation of water occur when the energy of water molecules from the surface is sufficiently high and the molecules can escape in the atmosphere.
What happens to the energy from the sun that is absorbed. by earths surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
What happens to that energy from the sun that is absorbed by earth surface?
Energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is reflected back into the atmosphere or absorbed by land and water and transformed into heat.
Which process gains the most energy?
Vaporization, for water it gains 2260 Jules per gram.
What best explains what happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
What happens when a liquid gains thermal energy?
The molecules will begin to oscillate, the more energy they gain the more intense the vibration. when the vibration gets too intense, the water molecule detaches from other water molecules and becomes water vapour.
What happens to the energy from the sun when it reaches earth's surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
What happens to the Suns energy when it reaches the earths surface?
What happens to Solar Energy is that some of it gets absorbed into air, land and water while the rest gets reflected back to space.
