Study Notes
- Condensation and precipitation require sufficient humidity in the air.
- Clouds are formed by the suspension of small droplets of moisture and ice crystals in the air.
- Clouds form when a parcel of air rises to 100% relative humidity.
- Nuclei of condensation are necessary for the formation of clouds and precipitation.
- Evaporation, evapotranspiration, and sublimation are processes that contribute to the water cycle.
- Infiltration, runoff, and groundwater flow are part of the water cycle on land.
- Human activities such as urbanization, deforestation, and intensive agriculture can affect the capacity of precipitation water to infiltrate the soil.
- Aquifers are underground layers of permeable rocks or unconsolidated deposits containing water that can be extracted through a well.
- Fog and mist are clouds that touch the ground.
- Cloud seeding is a technique to create clouds by dropping particles such as ice crystals or salts into the clouds.
