It condenses into a cloud up in the atmosphere and then gets precipitated back.
We would be talking about the water cycle here. In this question we would be talking about the step called Evaporation. In the cloud, it condenses, that would be the step Condensation. Then when the cloud is full of condensed water, it falls back to the ground as precipitation, not in the same place of course!
What else can I help you with?
What gas is given off when you burn ethanol?
When ethanol is burned, it gives off carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O) as the main products.
How do trees give off water vapor?
Trees give off water vapor through a process called transpiration. Water from the roots is absorbed by the tree and travels through its tissues to reach the leaves. Once in the leaves, some of the water evaporates and is released into the air as vapor through tiny pores called stomata.
What condensation means?
Condensation is the process in which water vapor in the air transforms into liquid water, typically occurring on surfaces that are cooler than the surrounding air. It is an important step in the water cycle and can form when warm air cools rapidly, leading to the saturation of moisture in the air and the formation of droplets.
What does it mean when a crystal when heated gives off water vapor and becomes a powder?
When a crystal gives off water vapor and turns into a powder upon heating, it typically indicates that the crystal is a hydrated salt (contains water molecules within its structure). The heating drives off the water molecules, leading to the breakdown of the crystal structure and formation of a powder.
Why do factories give off water?
Oil, gas, or coal power plants will release water vapor as part of the combustion process. When organic matter is burned, the byproducts will be water vapor and carbon dioxide. Carbon monoxide (a toxic gas) can also be released, as well as any other elements that contaminate the fuels: mercury is one common and dangerous pollutant.
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.
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?
The cooled water vapor condenses to form clouds in the atmosphere. When the clouds become heavy enough, they release the condensed water back to Earth in the form of precipitation, such as rain or snow. This water cycle is a continuous process driven by the heat from the Sun.
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.
How do you restart your car after vapor lock?
Once it cools off it will start.
What does the water cycle have on the water cycle and why?
The Sun's energy drives evaporation of water from bodies of water on Earth. This water vapor rises into the atmosphere, where it cools and condenses into clouds. Eventually, the condensed water falls back to Earth as precipitation, completing the water cycle.
Why is their water in the exhaust?
The normal combustion product of gas and oxygen is water (in the form of vapor because it is hot) and carbon dioxide. When you shut off a running car, water vapor in the air condenses to water as the muffler cools down. When you start the car, the exhaust gasses push the now liquid water out the back.
What are clouds and for made off?
Clouds are visible masses of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. They form when moist air rises, cools, and condenses around particles like dust or pollution. Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's climate by reflecting sunlight and helping regulate the planet's temperature.
What is the process called when water vapor gets cold and changes into rain?
Condensation. And before this: water turns into water vapor-evaporation After condensation: clouds holding the water lets go-precipitaion= snow, sleet, hail, and rain. After precipitation: Run-off=water goes back to its original place (or other places).
What are the 8 steps of the water cycle in order?
The water cycle consists of eight key steps: evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, percolation, and collection. It begins with evaporation, where water from oceans, rivers, and lakes turns into vapor. Plants contribute to the cycle through transpiration, releasing moisture into the air. As vapor rises and cools, it condenses to form clouds, leading to precipitation in the form of rain or snow, which then infiltrates the ground, runs off into bodies of water, percolates through soil, and eventually collects back into larger water sources, completing the cycle.
Why does steam Rise off a lake in the winter?
Steam rises off a lake in winter because the water in the lake is warmer than the surrounding air temperature. When the cold air comes into contact with the warm water, it causes the water to evaporate and rise as steam or water vapor.
What does it take to make rain form?
Well water is all over the planet (rivers, oceans, etc.). The sun wrms some of the water. The water (once warmed) takes on the form off a gas. The gas is called condensation. All the gas water comes together in areas, and form s clouds. When the clouds become to heavy the water falls back down as a liquid. This process is called the water cycle.
How does evaporation contribute to the development of storms?
When water vapor condenses, it gives off energy or heat. That heat drives hurricanes and all other storms associated with rain. When the Ocean is warm, more water can evaporate. Then when the water vapor rises to the clouds, more water vapor can condense and provide heat, rain, and wind to make the hurricane stronger. If the ocean is cooler, less water can evaporate. Then, less water vapor can condense. The hurricane will get weaker. Very few hurricanes form in winter and those that do are quite weak.
