The Water Cycle, Weather, & Climate

oxygen

• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy
• an element found in water, rocks, and makes up about 21% of the atmosphere
• when there is more water than the land can absorb
• tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature

nitrogen

• a gas that makes up much of the air in Earth's atmosphere
• the speed of the weather realted air movement from one place to the next
• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy
• when there is more water than the land can absorb

water vapor

• tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature
• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy
• water in a gaseous form and spread throughout the atmosphere
• when there is more water than the land can absorb

water cycle

• tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature
• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy
• the average weather conmditions in a place over 30 years or more
• the path that all water follows as it moves around the Earth in different states

evaporation

• when a liquid chenges into a gas
• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy

condensation

• tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature
• when there is more water than the land can absorb
• when water vapor cools down and turn back into a liquid from a gas
• what the sky and the air outside are like, such as cold and cloudy

precipitation

• tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature
• when there is more water than the land can absorb
• when water vapor cools down and turn back into a liquid from a gas
• the liquid and dolid water particles that fall from clouds and reach the ground
