Watercycle
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The sun heats water which evaporates as vapor into the air. Water vapor condenses into liquid water that falls as precipitation. Precipitation that does not soak into the ground becomes runoff that flows into bodies of water, completing the cycle as that water evaporates again.

Lesson different forms of water
Groundwater is found underground in soil and rock cracks, while evaporation turns water into vapor due to heat. Condensation is when vapor turns back into liquid, and precipitation occurs when water is released from clouds as rain, snow or hail. Other forms of water include humidity in the air, snow as ice crystals, hail as ice and snow balls, dew as drops on surfaces at night, fog as low clouds reducing visibility, and frost as ice crystals on surfaces below freezing.
Forms of codensation 3
Condensation is the change of water vapor into liquid water and occurs when warm air cools and loses its ability to hold water vapor. There are several forms of condensation, including dew, which forms on cold surfaces at night; frost, which forms tiny ice crystals below freezing; fog or mist, which are tiny droplets suspended in the air in low visibility; and clouds, which form around dust particles in the atmosphere and can be classified by form and height into cirrus, stratus, cumulus, and nimbus clouds.
Precipitation Formation
Air pressure differences cause air convection currents that lead to precipitation formation. Warm, moist air rises at the equator in low pressure areas, cools and condenses into rain. The air then falls in high pressure areas, where it is dry and dense. This circulation pattern explains how moisture is evaporated from oceans and condenses into rain through rising and cooling air convection currents.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the process where a liquid turns into a gas, specifically water turning into water vapor. Several factors influence evaporation, including wind speed, temperature, and humidity, with higher wind speeds, temperatures, and lower humidity leading to more evaporation. As water evaporates from surfaces like rivers and lakes, it enters the atmosphere as water vapor and can form clouds. This process of evaporation causes cooling effects as the evaporating particles absorb heat from their surroundings.
Precipitation And its forms
The document discusses various types of precipitation including rain, snowfall, sleet, hail, and freezing rain. It describes how precipitation forms through the condensation and coalescence of water droplets or ice crystals in the atmosphere. The key forms of rainfall are identified as convective, orographic, and frontal rainfall. Convective rainfall occurs when the sun heats the earth's surface and warms the air. Orographic rainfall is caused when moist air rises over mountain ranges. Frontal rainfall results from warm and cool air masses meeting along weather fronts. Drizzle, snowfall, sleet, hail, and freezing rain are also summarized.
Forms of Condensation and Precipitation
Cloud formation occurs through adiabatic cooling or lifting of air parcels to their dew point temperature. Clouds are classified based on their height and form. High clouds like cirrus are made of ice crystals while low clouds like stratus are uniform layers near the surface. Fog forms through different cooling processes like radiation, advection, or evaporation. Precipitation forms through the Bergeron process using ice crystals or collision-coalescence of water droplets. Rain, snow, sleet, hail, and freezing rain are different types of precipitation. Weather modification techniques like cloud seeding are used to artificially influence precipitation and other weather phenomena.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the process by which a liquid or solid changes into a vapor. It occurs when molecules near the surface of a substance gain enough kinetic energy from heat to break away from intermolecular forces holding them together. The rate of evaporation depends on factors like temperature, pressure, concentration, and surface area. Evaporation plays an important role in nature and has several industrial applications such as drying, cooling, and distillation.
Water and weather, by Paula Bote Andrada #ESO2
Water cycles between oceans, atmosphere, and land through the processes of evaporation and condensation driven by solar energy. Evaporation occurs when liquid water absorbs heat from the sun and turns to gas, and condensation is when gaseous water releases heat energy and turns back to liquid, forming clouds. Precipitation falls back to Earth's surface, completing the cycle. Weather describes short term atmospheric conditions, while climate refers to long term patterns influenced by factors like the sun, oceans, geography, and greenhouse gases.
Chapter 18
This document provides an overview of the water cycle and atmospheric moisture. It discusses the three states of water, the processes of evaporation, condensation, and sublimation. It describes how temperature and pressure affect the amount of water vapor air can hold. Cloud formation results from air rising and cooling, releasing water as condensation. Precipitation forms as cloud droplets grow very large. The document also discusses atmospheric stability and various mechanisms that cause air to rise and form clouds.
The Water Cycle
The water cycle begins with the sun heating the earth's surface, causing water to evaporate from bodies of water and rise into the air as invisible water vapor. Water vapor condenses to form clouds, and water droplets may fall back to earth as precipitation like rain, snow, or hail and collect in rivers, lakes, and streams, completing the cycle.
Evaporation
Evaporation is the process where a liquid vaporizes below its boiling point. There are four main factors that affect the rate of evaporation: temperature, humidity, wind speed, and surface area. Higher temperatures, lower humidity, stronger winds, and larger surface areas all increase the rate at which evaporation occurs as they enhance the vapor pressure difference between the evaporating surface and the surrounding air.
Types of rainfall
The document discusses five main types of rainfall: 1) Convective rainfall which occurs when surface air is heated and rises, cooling to form clouds 2) Cyclonic or frontal rainfall caused by clashes between air masses along fronts like warm and cold fronts 3) Orographic rainfall which happens when moist air is forced upwards by mountains, cooling and condensing into rain on the windward slopes. 4) Artificial rainfall can be created through cloud seeding using substances like dry ice or silver iodide to induce raindrop formation. Each type of rainfall has distinct meteorological causes and characteristics.
Water Cycle
The water cycle involves the continuous circulation of water between the earth's surface and the atmosphere. Water is evaporated from surfaces and transpired by plants into the atmosphere as water vapor. As the vapor rises, it condenses into clouds and falls as precipitation back to the earth's surface, where it collects as groundwater, runoff in streams and rivers, and in oceans, completing the cycle.
Precipitation
The document discusses different types of clouds and precipitation. It describes how clouds form as warm air rises and cools, allowing water vapor to condense around particles to form clouds. Clouds are classified by shape, height, and whether they produce precipitation. The main cloud types are stratus, cumulus, and cirrus clouds. Precipitation occurs when cloud droplets become too heavy and fall, and includes rain, snow, hail, sleet, and freezing rain.

Diagrams illustrate concepts like the water cycle, adiabatic processes, cloud classification and hailstone formation.
The Water Cycle and Weather
The document discusses the water cycle and weather systems. It describes the water cycle as the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. The water cycle involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, and precipitation that cause water to change between liquid, vapor, and solid states. It also discusses key components of weather including temperature, wind, water pressure, and fronts formed by interactions between air masses of different temperatures. Weather results from these air mass interactions which can cause wind or storms when warm air is pushed up over colder air. Weather maps show areas of high and low pressure, cold and warm fronts, and their movements.

Earthquakes in New Jersey 3
Most earthquakes in New Jersey occur in central Jersey and the Asbury Park area, though they are very small and often not felt at all. Earthquakes happen when underground rock cracks along a fault, releasing seismic waves. While New Jersey experiences earthquakes, they typically aren't strongly felt because the state isn't directly located on a fault line.

Watercycle slideshare version
The document describes the water cycle through three main processes:
1) Evaporation where the sun heats water which changes from a liquid to vapor and rises into the air as humidity.
2) Condensation where water vapor cools and forms droplets or ice crystals which get heavier and fall as precipitation.
3) Precipitation which falls when air can no longer hold the water and takes forms like rain, snow, hail, or sleet depending on the air temperature, and is measured using a rain gauge. Runoff then carries water that does not soak into the ground back into streams, rivers, and lakes to restart the cycle.

Precipitation, The Hydrosphere and Hydrologic Cycle ENM 142 Lecture 4.pptx
This document discusses precipitation, the hydrosphere, and the hydrologic cycle. It defines precipitation as water released from clouds in various forms such as rain, snow, or hail. It is an important part of the water cycle as it delivers atmospheric water to the Earth. The hydrosphere is defined as all the water on a planet, including surface water, groundwater, and atmospheric water vapor. The hydrologic cycle describes how water moves through the hydrosphere, evaporating from oceans into the atmosphere, condensing into clouds, falling as precipitation, collecting in rivers and lakes, and eventually returning to the oceans to restart the cycle.
Water cycle.pdf
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, in, and above the Earth. Energy from the sun drives the water cycle by evaporating water from oceans, lakes, and vegetation into water vapor in the air through evaporation and transpiration. Water vapor condenses into clouds and precipitation falls to the ground as rain or snow through condensation. Water re-enters oceans and lakes through surface runoff and underground streams, where it will again evaporate and continue the cycle. The water cycle is essential for life on Earth and influences climate and weather patterns.
Precipitation
Precipitation forms when water vapor in clouds condenses around particles and becomes too heavy to remain suspended. It can fall as rain, freezing rain, sleet, snow, or hail depending on temperature. Rain forms below freezing when water droplets freeze on contact. Sleet forms when rain falls through below freezing air and freezes into ice pellets before hitting the ground. Snow forms when water vapor deposits directly onto nuclei as ice crystals below freezing through deposition. Hail forms in thunderstorms when ice crystals are carried up and down in the storm, accumulating concentric layers.
Water cycle
The document summarizes the water cycle, which is a continuous process where water evaporates from surfaces, rises into the air as vapor, condenses to form clouds, and falls back to earth as precipitation. It then may evaporate or transpire from plants again. The water cycle consists of evaporation, condensation, sublimation, precipitation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration. Precipitation occurs when clouds become too full and water falls as rain, snow, sleet, freezing rain or hail depending on temperature. The water then either runs over the ground as runoff or soaks into the soil in infiltration.

The document summarizes the water cycle. Water evaporates from oceans and other surfaces, rises into the atmosphere as vapor, condenses into clouds, and falls back to Earth's surface as precipitation like rain or snow. This continuous movement of water between the atmosphere and Earth is known as the water cycle, which ensures a constant supply of fresh water despite water being constantly lost to evaporation.

The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves processes such as evaporation where water is changed from a liquid to gas, condensation where it returns to a liquid state, and precipitation where water falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail. Water is also absorbed by plants through roots and released through leaves by transpiration, and runs over land or accumulates in bodies as surface runoff.

The document describes key terms related to the water cycle, including condensation, evaporation, precipitation, snow, rain, hail, surface runoff, transpiration, and accumulation. Condensation reduces gas to a solid, evaporation turns liquid to gas that rises into the sky, and precipitation describes falling condensed water like rain and snow. Surface runoff and transpiration describe water movement across land and through plants, while accumulation refers to building storms over seas.
The Water Cycle- NYY27WS
The document discusses the water cycle and its key components. It describes condensation as water vapor turning into liquid droplets, evaporation as the sun turning liquid water into vapor, and precipitation as water falling from the atmosphere to Earth in forms such as snow, rain, or hail. It also mentions surface runoff, transpiration, and accumulation as other important parts of the water cycle.
The Water Cycle-Jazzmatazz
The document summarizes the water cycle through its main processes. It explains how evaporation turns water into vapor from heated surfaces like oceans. Condensation occurs when vapor cools and condenses into liquid water forming clouds and precipitation falls as rain, snow or hail. Precipitation runs on surfaces as runoff and infiltrates the ground through percolation, accumulating in bodies like oceans and lakes. Plants release water through transpiration, contributing to the atmosphere.

Condensation occurs when vapor cools and condenses into liquid water forming clouds and precipitation. Precipitation falls as rain, snow, or hail. Surface runoff carries water over land into streams and rivers. Transpiration releases water through plants, while accumulation collects water in lakes and oceans. Percolation absorbs water underground, and the cycle repeats.

The document describes the water cycle through defining key terms: condensation turns gases into liquids, evaporation turns liquids into gases, precipitation includes rain, snow and hail from clouds, and surface runoff and transpiration move water over land and through plants, with accumulation building storms over seas.
Water Cycle
The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It involves six main processes: evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, surface runoff, and accumulation. Evaporation turns water from oceans, rivers, and lakes into vapor, and transpiration occurs when water evaporates from plants. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and turns back into a liquid in clouds. Precipitation results when clouds become too heavy and water falls as rain, snow, sleet or hail. Surface runoff transports precipitation from land to streams and rivers. Accumulation occurs when water flows into oceans, lakes, and seas, restarting the cycle.

The water cycle describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. It includes processes such as evaporation where water is changed to a gas, condensation where it returns to a liquid form in clouds, and precipitation where it falls back to Earth as rain, snow, or hail. The water then either soaks into the ground as surface runoff or is taken up by plants through transpiration and the cycle repeats.
