What is a frozen water vapour that falls to earth as flakes?
Snow is frozen water vapor that falls to Earth as flakes.
How does snow happen?
We all know that as we go higher in the atmospherethe temperature decreases. Therefore the capability of air to hold the water vapour decreases and excess of water vapour gets collected in the air at a certain height. The air, now having too much water vapour, is said to be supersaturated. Under these conditions, the water vapour condenses on the dust particles present in the air. On further cooling, the water vapour gets converted into snow particles. Crystals of snow are formed by the combination of these particles. When the air cannot bear the weight of the crystals of snow, they fall down as snow flakes and get collected on the mountains.
Rain and snow are examples of what?
Rain and snow are examples of precipitation, which is water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. Rain occurs in liquid form, while snow occurs in solid form when the temperature is cold enough for the water vapour to freeze.
What does water condenses into?
Water evaporates into water vapour, and water vapour condenses into water.
What refers to the amount of water vapour in the air?
Relative Humidity is the measure of water vapour in air. It is the ratio of the actual water vapour in air divided by the maximum amount the water the air can hold at the existing temperature and pressure. It tells how fast or slow the water on the body or in clothes will evaporate or in otherwords is the air dry or humid. Absolute measure of water vapour in air is called specific humidity. It can be measured as ratio of mass of water and mass of dry air.
What does snow become when evaporated?
Water vapour
What is a frozen water vapour that falls to earth as flakes?
Snow is frozen water vapor that falls to Earth as flakes.
How does water change as it moves in the water cycle through the land?
Water evaporates to form water vapour. When it reaches up,l it condenses to form rain, snow , sleet and then comes down.
What is the change of water to vapour and back to water?
evaporatiom
What are 5 most poular major water forms?

What is a name for precipitation?
Rain, snow or sleet formed by the condensation of water vapour
How water is released by clouds?
When clouds cool the water vapour condenses and then falls as rain or snow etc
What is precipitation meaning?
Preciptitaion of water condensed from vapour in the atmosphere: rain, snow, hail.
What is a common name for precipitation?
Rain, snow or sleet formed by the condensation of water vapour
Which processes of the water cycle show heat being added and which ones show heat beign removed?
How the water cycle and heat are related: Adding or subtracting heat makes the water cycle work. If heat is added to ice, it melts. If heat is added to water, it evaporates. Evaporation turns liquid water into a gas called water vapour. As water goes through its cycle, it can be a solid (ice), a liquid (water), or a gas (water vapour). Ice can change to become water or water vapour. Water can change to become ice or water vapour. Water vapour can change to become ice or water. If heat is taken away from water vapour, it condenses. Condensation turns water vapour into a liquid. If heat is taken away from liquid water, it freezes to become ice. The water cycle involves the sun heating the Earth's surface water and resulting in the surface water evaporating. The water vapour rises into the Earth's atmosphere. The water cools and condenses into liquid droplets. The droplets grow until they are heavy and fall to the earth as precipitation (which can be rain, freezing rain or snow).
Is cooling water vapour a chemical change?
yes it is
