What do Convection, radiation, and conduction all have in common?
They all involve heat
400
the process by which water molecules in liquid water escape into the air as water vapor
What is Condensation
400
Why do most things tend to rise as they warm up?
Because warm air is in a high pressure system and air tries to get to a low pressure area. (because heat always rises)
