What happens during evaporation?
Water turns into ice
Water vapor changes to liquid
Molecules at the surface of water absorb energy and turn into gas
Water falls from clouds
What is condensation?
Water turning into gas
Water vapor changing from a gas to a liquid
Water falling as rain
Water freezing into ice
What is precipitation?
Water turning into vapor
Water vapor changing to liquid

Low pressure
Medium pressure
No pressure
What type of weather does an anticyclone create?
Cloudy and rainy
Clear and dry
Stormy and windy
Snowy and cold
At night, after a long humid day, the ground cools. The cold Earth also cools the air just above the ground. The next morning, the sun causes the water droplets that are close to the ground to condensate.
What does this create?
Fog
Rain
Specific Humidity
A front
