Study Notes
Vaporization Process
- A process converting substance from liquid to gas at the boiling point
- Includes evaporation (conversion at any temperature)
- Includes condensation (gas to liquid, opposite of evaporation)
- Includes transpiration (water loss by plants as vapor)
Water Cycle Effects
- Water cycle is a system that physically, chemically, and biologically changes the Earth's surface
- Water vapor can react with air compounds, creating acids that break down rocks
- Geologic structures are formed through fragmentation and breaking of rocks by various factors (physical like wind, water, temperature; chemical like acid rains; biological like plant roots)
Water Composition
- Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen
- Volumetric percentage of hydrogen = 66.67%
- Volumetric percentage of oxygen = 33.33%
- Ratio of hydrogen to oxygen (by volume) = 2:1
- Mass percentage of hydrogen = 11.11%
- Mass percentage of oxygen = 88.89%
- Ratio of hydrogen mass to oxygen mass = 1:4
