What process causes water to move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere during the water cycle?

The water on Earth's surface is heated up, and the particles start moving fast enough to push each other away. This causes the water to become a gas, which rises. This process is called evaporation.

What factor causes atmosphere pressure?
Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Gyres
What causes evaporation of Earths waters to occur?
The cause of evaporation is the continuous movement of molecules at the surface of a liquid; gaining more energy they can escape in the air. Temperature favors this process.
What causes winds to appear to turn on the earths surface?
This caused by the rotation of the earth and is called the coriolis effect.
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earths surface?
Coriolis effect
What causes the pressure of the atmosphere?
Atmospheric pressure is caused by the force of the air above the earths surface. It is measured by the point in which the air meets the atmosphere.
What causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere?
what causes all of the changes that take place in earths atmosphere is the tilt of the earths axis
What process causes gases in the atmosphere to trap heat the surface of earth?
greenhouse effect
What process causes in the atmosphere to trap heat near the surface of Earth?
greenhouse effect
What causes most weathering on earths surface?
wind
What causes air to move with the earths surface?
convection
What causes rapid changes in earths surface?
Earthquake.
What is the process that causes rocks on the earths surface to change crumbling mountains and widening valleys?
The process that creates valleys and causes changes on the surface of mountains is called erosion. Erosion is most commonly caused by wind and water. A great example of erosion is the Grand Canyon.
What causes catastrophic events to occur?
The climate of the earth and the earths atmosphere
What factor causes atmosphere pressure?
Weight of the atmosphere above a surface.
What causes air to be denser near earths surface?
Gravity causes air to be denser near Earth's surface.
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Gyres
