the water cycle
A graph with two flat sections joined by a slope represents a phase change. The flat sections indicate a constant temperature during a phase change, such as when ice is melting or water is boiling. The slope represents a temperature increase or decrease during the transition between phases. In a graph, you would mark the flat section for ice melting and boiling water where the temperature remains constant.
To determine the phase constant from a graph, identify the horizontal shift of the graph compared to the original function. The phase constant is the amount the graph is shifted horizontally.
Different
The flat portion of a temperature-time graph indicates a phase change where the substance is either melting or boiling. During these phase transitions, the temperature remains constant as the substance absorbs energy to change its state rather than increase in temperature.
The change of water from a liquid to a gas is called evaporation. This process occurs when water molecules gain enough energy to break free from the liquid phase and enter the gas phase.
A horizontal line on a phase change graph means there has been no change. Often longer periods of research are needed to see significant change.
The plateau on the graph indicates that the water has reached its boiling point and is transitioning from liquid to gas phase. During this phase change, the temperature remains constant while the water absorbs heat to break intermolecular bonds and change its state.
A sudden change in slope or discontinuity in the graph would indicate a phase change taking place. This can be seen as a sharp point or step-like feature in the graph.

It is because that is when the change is occurring, and the diagonal part is when the process has already happened
The phase change graph for water shows three main regions: solid (ice) melting into liquid water at 0°C, liquid water boiling into steam at 100°C, and steam condensing back into liquid water at 100°C. These transitions occur at stable temperatures and pressures.
The graph that best represents a change of phase from a gas to a solid would show a decrease in temperature over time as the gas loses energy and transitions into a solid state. The temperature remains constant during the phase change itself due to the energy being used to break intermolecular bonds rather than increase temperature.
When ice melts and becomes water, that is a phase change. Same when water boils and becomes steam (a gas) that is also a phase change.
Thermal energy (heat)
This phase change is called evaporation.
A shallow slope on a phase change graph indicates that a relatively small amount of heat is required to change the temperature of the substance during a phase change, such as melting or boiling. This typically occurs when the substance is undergoing a phase transition, where energy is being used to overcome intermolecular forces rather than increasing temperature. Consequently, the shallow slope reflects a higher specific heat capacity during the phase change.
Water changes from a liquid phase to a gaseous phase when it is boiled.
