water cycle
what causes the water cycle?
the sun's energy, which powers evaporation and drives atmospheric circulation
what is evaporation?
the process where a liquid turns into a gas when its particles gain enough energy to escape the liquid's surface
what is condensation?
the process where a gas changes into a liquid, most commonly when water vapor in the air cools down.
what is precipitation
any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, including rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
what was the loudest sound recorded on earth?
1883 eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in Indonesia.
why does the water cycle never stop?
because it is a continuous, self-perpetuating system driven by the sun's energy and gravity
can oil evaporate?
Yes!
how does condensation work?
gas particles slow down and change into a liquid
what causes precipitation
the condensation of atmospheric water vapor into liquid droplets or ice crystals that then grow large enough to fall to Earth
what caused the Soviet Union to collapse?
it was caused by a combination of long-term economic stagnation, inefficiencies of the central planning system, and rising nationalist sentiments in the republics.
what is the water cycle?
the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth, driven by the sun's energy
what liquids cannot be evaporated?
ionic liquids and polyethylene glycol.
why does condensation happen?
warm, moist air coming into contact with a cold surface.
how does precipitation help us?
Replenishing freshwater sources like rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
did australia help in the landing of gallipoli?
Yes, Australian forces played a key role in the Gallipoli landing.
how does the water cycle help humans?
providing a constant supply of clean freshwater for drinking, hygiene, and agriculture.
what solids can be evaporated?
dry ice and iodine.
what liquids don't get condensed
None!
can oil cause precipitation?
yes,in the form of solid particles like asphaltenes and waxes from the crude oil itself.
why did the germans during ww2 create fanta?
to provide a soft drink for the German market after a trade embargo made it impossible to import Coca-Cola syrup/ingredients.
how does the water cycle affect plants?
provides the water necessary for photosynthesis, nutrient transport, and maintaining structure through turgor pressure.
how long does it take for water to evaporate?
around 10 days
how long does condensation take?
from 2 minutes to a whole year
how long does it take for precipitation to happen?
from minutes to months
Did Ford create military vehicles during ww2?
Yes.
