Evaporation & Condensation

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process where liquid water turns into water vapor (gas) when it is heated.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process where water vapor (gas) cools down and turns back into liquid water.

Front

What happens to water vapor when it loses heat?

Back

When water vapor loses heat, it condenses into water droplets.

Front

Give an example of evaporation.

Back

An example of evaporation is when puddles of water dry up on a sunny day.

Front

Give an example of condensation.

Back

An example of condensation is the water droplets that form on the outside of a cold glass.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and evaporation?

Back

Higher temperatures increase the rate of evaporation.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and condensation?

Back

Lower temperatures increase the rate of condensation.

Front

What is dew?

Back

Dew is water droplets that form on surfaces when warm air cools down at night.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous movement of water through evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Precipitation is any form of water that falls from the atmosphere to the Earth's surface, such as rain or snow.
