When air evaporates it absorbs the heat of evaporation of water from the air, thus cooling it. When the air is at or below the dew point temperature, water no longer freely evaporates from it; thus this heat is no longer being absorbed from the air.

What happens to gas as it i cooled below 0 degrees C?

It continues to cool until it reaches it's boilng point. At which it will condense then cool further until it reaches it's melting point. It will then continue to cool until it's entropy is minized at absolute zero.


What happens when you cool a liquid?

When you cool a liquid, the particles within the liquid lose energy and move more slowly, causing the liquid to contract and become denser. Eventually, the liquid may reach its freezing point and solidify into a solid state.


Why can bodies of water create microclimimate?

They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.


Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?

The high heat capacity and thermal conductivity of water make it heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere. Water can absorb and store more heat energy compared to air. Additionally, the mixing of ocean waters and the vastness of the ocean help to distribute and transfer heat more slowly.


When the thermal energy of a material decreases?

When the thermal energy of a material decreases, the particles within the material have less kinetic energy, causing them to move more slowly. This can lead to a decrease in temperature and possibly a change in state if it reaches the material's melting or boiling point.


Do intrusive rocks cool quickly?

Intrusive rocks cool more slowly than extrusive rocks because they are formed beneath the Earth's surface. This slower cooling allows for larger mineral crystals to form within the rock.


Why does th ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?

The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can store more heat. This allows the ocean to heat up and cool down more slowly compared to the atmosphere. Additionally, the mixing of the ocean's layers and currents also contribute to its slower heating and cooling rates.


Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosohere?

The ocean has a higher heat capacity than the atmosphere, meaning it can absorb and store more heat before its temperature changes. Additionally, the movement of water in the ocean, such as currents and mixing, distributes heat more evenly throughout the ocean, causing it to heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere.


What happens When water at 0 degree centrigrade is heated?

It melts if has frozen, but far more interestingly, the volume of the water contracts until the temperature reaches 4 degrees C. That is the point of maximum density of water. Once past 4 C, the volume increases slowly (as the density declines) with more added heat.


What is the comparative of slowly?

The comparative form of "slowly" is "more slowly."


When a parcel of air reaches its dew point the process of what begins?

The process of air reaching its dew point is called condensation. As the air pressure reaches the dew point, the humidity increases.
