Warm air turns into vapor & rises up, then it cools off. What happens to this water vapor?

• It becomes clouds, when water vapor cools and condenses

• A warm air mass and a cool air mass meet rapidly

• It expands and spreads out creating low pressure

• It condenses and comes together creating high pressure
