Study Notes

  • Evaporation is when water turns into vapor due to increased temperature.
  • Condensation is when water vapor turns into liquid water due to temperature and pressure conditions.
  • Precipitation is when water droplets fall to land under gravity.
  • Precipitation is important for understanding the water cycle's impact on Earth's surface water.
  • Frequent and detailed measurements help scientists model and determine changes in the water cycle.
  • The water cycle involves evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
  • Water falling on land collects in rivers, lakes, soil, and porous rock layers.
  • Water flows back into oceans, where it will evaporate again.
  • The cycling of water in and out of the atmosphere affects weather patterns.
  • Understanding the water cycle is important for studying Earth's surface water and weather.
