Condensation is the opposite of evaporation

comes from both human activity and natural processes

form of rain, sleet or snow

particles  grow too large for the rising air to support and fall to Earth

uses the help of particles in the air

water evaporates when heated

suns energy transfers water from liquid to gas

includes evapotranspiration

evaporation is a phase change from liquid to gas

Condensation occurs when warm air meets cold surface

Water vapor turns into liquid when cooled

 the primary way we receive freshwater on Earth

water changes from liquid to gas due to heat

 when there is more water than land can absorb

 when there is more water than land can absorb
