Condensation: change from a gas to a liquid -- water vapor in the air forms tiny drops of liquid water or ice (clouds). This is followed by precipitation: water that has gathered in the clouds and falls to the earth as rain, hail, sleet and snow. Some becomes ground water: water that has soaked into the earth, often between saturated soil and rock.

Evaporation: change in state from a liquid to a gas (liquid water becoming water vapor) Some of the water that forms clouds, then falls to Earth, is eventually evaporated again from the land and ocean.

Why large bubbles form when water boils what are the bubbles made of?

When water boils, the bubbles are made of water vapor. Water is changing from the liquid phase to the gas phase, but it doesn't change all at once, so you get bubbles of gas inside the liquid. The phase change will happen first at the location where heating is taking place, so if you have a pot on a stove, the bubbles will form at the bottom of the pot, and then rise to the top.


Which condition applies when water boils at 100C?

When water boils at 100°C, it reaches its boiling point, which is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the pressure of the surrounding atmosphere. This allows the water to change from a liquid to a gas phase.


If the water continued to heat what would be its next phase change?

When water reaches its boiling point (212oF), its phase changes to gas through the process of evaporation.
