How is Water added to the atmosphere?
Water is added to the atmosphere through a process called evaporation. This happens when the sun heats up water on the surface of the Earth.
How is water vapour released into the air?
Water vapor gets in the air from the process of evaporation. It floats up into the air, and freezes high up and forms clouds. It then either rains or snows down, and the process starts all over again.
Why would droplets of water form on the outside of the glass?
The effect is called Condensation You can look this up easily.
When you see water on the outside of a cold soda can it has collected there because of from water vapor from the air?
Yes. The process is called condensation, and it's driven by the fact that the temperature of the air decides how much moisture it can carry. Warm air, the water stays as vapour. Then the warm air hits the cold can, the air cools off, can't carry as much moisture anymore and the excess ends up on the can as droplets.
Water has a high specific heat and land has a low specific heat. what's the result of this uneven heating of the earth's surface?
The result is, that water changes temperature more slowly than the land, meaning the climate near to the water (for instance the ocean) is more calm - the winter is not so cold and the summer is fresh instead of boiling hot. Also, the air pressure as we know, depends on the temperature. The uneven temperature means uneven pressure and therefore winds. A good example for this are monsoon winds. For example, in coastal regions during day time the heat absorbed from sun by the land surface is five times faster than that of water in sea because of water has high specific heat and hence water gets slowly heated up. Therefore air above the land surface gets heated up and rises above from the surface and there by decreasing the pressure on the surface of land. Hence cold air flows from surface of sea water on to land surface. This phenomenon is called as "sea breeze". Reverse process happens during the night time and process is called as "land breeze".
Where does water go after it rains in the sidewalk?
it goes into a drian or it drys up
What happens when nitrogen and water vapor mix?
it drys up and dies.... :p
How has the drought affected the coorong?
it kills all the wild life and drys up all the water
Why is there white matter often coming out of your eyes?
white matter is when your eye is closed and water come out and drys up
If hot water is added to cold water and the cold water heats up what is this process called?
The process is simply heat transfer from hotter water to colder water.
What happens to the temperature of boiling water if you turn up the?
The water turns into water vapor. This process is called evaporation.
What are island made up of?
They are made of magma (melted rock) under the water are volcanoes which burst and let magma get out the magma travels up and lays on the water which then drys and turns into an island.
What does humidity have to do with water?
Humidity is water dissolved in air. When you mom hangs her washing out to dry, the wind drys it by taking up the water. This water is "humidity". When the air is saturated with water it condenses out as mist (clouds).
What do you call process when a puddle dries up?
it is called evaporation when the sun soaks up all the water
How do plants roots suck up water?
The process is called Osmosis. The water will go up throgh the roots and up the cloraplsts will fill up with water and spread around the plant.
What is the process in which water changes from a liquid to a gas called?
evaporation. the water particles get heated up and they rise into the sky and build up. then we have rain storms
What do you call a process when a puddle dries?
it is called evaporation when the sun soaks up all the water
