How late is too late for starting your period?

If you haven't had your period by the time you're 15, then an OBGYN might want to investigate why. There are many reasons why a girl might not commence their periods, some might include being underwight/skinny, another reason might be that the hymen is 'imperforate' which is where the hymen doesn't have any holes in it, so blood can't escape. No matter what, if you are 15 or older, and haven't had your period, you should see your doctor and discuss investigating why. If you're 13 or so, and all the other girls are getting theirs and you haven't yet, try not to worry- it will just be a matter of time. Hope that helps! Aj :)

What is an example of vaporization?

For water, one example is when a puddle dries out on a sunny day.

When water sits on a flat suface out in the sun, the energy forms water vapor making the surface dry.

If you draw an outline around a puddle and then come back two hours later you will see that the puddle has retreated due to it's loss of fluid via evaporation.

Alcohol, gasoline, liquid propane, and other liquids can also evaporate (vaporize). If you spill a few ounces of ethyl alcohol in a warm area, it will rapidly disappear.

The Simplest Examples I Can Think Of Are:

1. when a glass of water is left out overnight and the water level is found to drop.

2. when the "sweat" on a very cold glass of water disappears as the glass warms up.

3. a fish aquarium - over the course of a couple of weeks, the water level drops from evaporation.

4. a pot of water left on a hot stove boils away.

All evaporation means is liquid turning to gas: Water boils at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), but it actually begins to evaporate at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) - it just occurs extremely slowly at lower temperatures. As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation also increases.

Any words you choose which will express the main idea of your writing! There is no magic list of words that you must use for different sentences - writing means putting your thoughts and emotion down, and that means you can use whatever words you can imagine.
