Which process in the water cycle is caused by an increase in temperature?

Evaporation is the process in the water cycle that is caused by an increase in temperature. When water temperatures rise, water molecules gain energy and turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere forming clouds.


Air pressure is caused by?

Air pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the air below. As altitude increases, there is less air above, resulting in lower air pressure. Temperature and humidity can also affect air pressure.


How much relative humidity would decrease when temperature rises?

Relative humidity is a ratio between the partial pressure of water vapor and the saturation pressure of water vapor at the current temperature and pressure. If the temperature and pressure change, then the relative humidity will change also. You are correct that higher temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more water. That means that the saturation pressure of water vapor has increased while the current vapor pressure has remained the same, causing the relative humidity to drop. We think of humidity as how hot and sticky it is outside. The closer the water vapor pressure is to its saturation point, the more hot and sticky we feel. We associate humidity with heat since that is when we are uncomfortable, but rain is caused by the relative humidity rising to 100% because the humid air cooled to the point that the saturation pressure dipped below the current vapor pressure (or other pressure changes, or a combination of both). You can learn more at the link below. I hope this helps.


What does a hydrothermal gem stone mean?

Hydrothermal relates to the action of water under the conditions of high temperature, especially in the forming of rocks and minerals. This means the process of the change of the structure of the rock, caused by the heat - a metamorphic process


What is the shrinking of a substance called?

Since expansion is the process of a substance's dimensions increasing, e.g., thermal expansion caused by a rise in temperature, the logical opposite would be contraction.

Why does the humidity and temperature of compost rise?

Yes the rising humidity and temperature are caused by the same process because as the compost heats up the water molecules evaporate which then causes the rise in humidity.


What causes the temperature of compost to change?

The increased temperature is caused by the high level of decomposition reactions taking place in a composter, especially those with confining walls that trap the heat.


Which process in the water cycle is caused by an increase in temperature?

Evaporation is the process in the water cycle that is caused by an increase in temperature. When water temperatures rise, water molecules gain energy and turn into water vapor, which then rises into the atmosphere forming clouds.


How do you use undesirable in a sentence?

The undesirable results were caused by the temperature and humidity. The parents considered the match to be undesirable and wanted him to leave.


What is the opposite of a windchill?

The opposite of windchill is heat index, which measures how hot it feels due to both temperature and humidity. While windchill reflects how cold the combination of wind and temperature feels on the skin, the heat index quantifies the discomfort caused by heat and humidity.


How are humidity and water vapor related?

Relative humidity is directly related to the amount of water vapor in air, and that's the relationship. The more water vapor that is in the air, the higher the relative humidity at a given temperature.


What is humidity caused by in the air?

precipitation


Why does relative humidity depend on air temperature?

Relative Humidity is the ratio of the mass of vapour present in a certain volume of air to the mass of water vapour required to saturate the same volume of air at the same temperature. Another way of defining relative humidity is related to dew point. I.e relative humidity=s.v.p at dew point over s.v.p at air temperature multiply by 100%. And dew point is dependent upon prevalent atmospheric conditions like TEMPERATURE,wind and the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere.


What can be caused by low humidity levels in a room?

ESD


What is flava?

it is a white coloring on your skin caused by a fungus. Don't worry its not contagious because this fungus is a normal fungus on your skin. They are just aggravated by high temperature and humidity. Frequent bathing will going to remove the fungi but also apply some anti fungal cream to it to fasten up the process.
