The Water Cycle: Condensation

The video explains the process of condensation, starting with the observation of moisture on a soda can. It describes how water vapor in the air cools and condenses into liquid, a process known as condensation. This process is also responsible for cloud formation, as warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to the creation of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere.

What causes the moisture to appear on the surface of a cold can of soda?

• The can absorbing moisture from the table

• Water vapor in the air condensing

• Water leaking from inside the can

• The soda itself evaporating

What is the process called when water vapor changes from a gas to a liquid?

• Evaporation

• Sublimation

• Condensation

• Precipitation

How do clouds form in the sky according to the video?

• By the melting of ice in the atmosphere

• Through the absorption of sunlight by water droplets

• By the evaporation of ocean water

• Through the condensation of water vapor as air rises and cools

What happens to water vapor as it rises and cools in the atmosphere?

• It evaporates into the air

• It condenses into tiny water droplets

• It turns into steam

• It remains unchanged

Under what conditions do ice crystals form in clouds?

• When the air is very humid

• When the temperature is warm

• When the temperature is cold enough

• When there is no wind
