the answer is latent

Latent heat is correct, but specifically the latent heat of evaporation of (whatever is evaporated, in this case water) water. When the evaporated water condenses, it releases this latent heat as it precipitates, which is why it tends to feel warmer during rainstorms (unless the water is running down your neck in which case it feels horrible).

What is clouds and water vapor from the water cycle?

Clouds are a collection of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere. Water vapor is the gaseous form of water in the air. Both clouds and water vapor are essential components of the water cycle, where water is constantly moving between the earth's surface and the atmosphere through processes like evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.


What is liquid waste stored temporarily in the body name?

Liquid waste stored temporarily in the body is called urine, which is produced by the kidneys as a result of filtering waste products from the blood. Urine is stored in the urinary bladder until it is eliminated from the body through the urethra.


What is precipitation and collection?

Precipitation refers to any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface. It is a key component of the water cycle, replenishing groundwater and surface water sources. Collection refers to the accumulation of this water in various bodies, such as rivers, lakes, and oceans, as well as in soil and groundwater systems, where it can be stored for use or further cycled back into the atmosphere through evaporation.


What is precipitation stored between rocks called?

The precipitation stored between rocks is called groundwater. Groundwater is a crucial source of water that is stored beneath the Earth's surface and can be accessed through wells or natural springs.


Is it true that all runoff from precipitation is quickly evaporated back into the atmosphere?

No, this is only true in arid areas. In most places, runoff finds a river and flows into a lake or ocean. Generally not a lot of it will be evaporated immediately, especially if it's not very warm.

What is the stored energy an object has as a result of its height above the ground called?

The stored energy an object has as a result of its height above the ground is called potential energy. This energy is related to the object's position in a gravitational field and is dependent on its mass and height above a reference point.

The energy absorbed and stored in vaporous molecules is referred to as latent heat. This represents the energy required to change the state of a substance without a change in temperature, such as during the process of evaporation or condensation.
