precipitation
What is precipitation?
Precipitation is a part of the water cycle that falls from the earths atmosphere.
What does condensation look like in the water cycle?
water evaporates into water vapor and then it condenses into a cloud.
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is, the process where a liquid changes to a gas.
What is transpiration?
Transpiration is a process where plants release water vapor into the atmosphere though their leaves.
What is accumulation?
It is the process were water collects and is stored in various bodies like rivers,lakes ,oceans,etc.
How does precipitation form?
Precipitation forms from water vapor.
What causes condensation?
Condensation happens when warm,moist air cools and reaches its dew point.
What causes evaporation?
Heat energy is the primary cause,as it increases the kinetic energy of the liquid molecules, allowing them to escape into the gaseous state.
How does transpiration work?
Water is drawn up from the roots through the xylem,enters the mesophyll cells, evaporates,and is released through stomata.
What are different types of precipitation?
Rain,snow,sleet,and hail are the main types.
What is an example of condensation?
Dew on the grass in the morning,water droplets on the outside of a cold soda can, and lastly fog on a car window.
What factors affect the rate of evaporation?
Several factors influence the rate of evaporation,including temperature,surface area,humidity,etc.
What are some examples of transpiration?
Some examples are stomatal transpiration,cuticular,lenticular.
What determines the type of precipitation?
Temperature,atmospheric conditions,and the height of clouds.
Is condensation harmful?
No condensation its self is not harmful to anyone at all
Is evaporation the same as boiling?
No,while boiling is a type of evaporation.
What part of the water cycle must come right before transpiration can occur?
Precipitation or Accumulation (runoff)
What is the difference between rain and snow?
Rain is liquid,while snow is frozen water that falls in flakes.
How does condensation affect the atmosphere?
Condensation is a crucial step in the water cycle,forming clouds and causing precipitation.
How does evaporation relate to the water cycle?
Evaporation is a key part of the water cycle, where water moves from the surface into the atmosphere.
How is transpiration measured?
Transpiration is measured by a potometer.
