Study Notes
Water Cycle Processes
- Water constantly changes between liquid and vapor
- The water cycle circulates water between land, sky, and sea
- Main processes: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation, Transportation
Evaporation
- Energy from the sun drives the water cycle
- Sunlight warms the water surface
- Water particles absorb energy, move faster
- Particles escape the surface as water vapor
Condensation
- Upper part of the sky cools
- Water vapor cools and condenses
- Forms small water droplets
- Droplets join to form clouds
Precipitation
- Water vapor condenses in clouds
- Forms bigger water droplets
- Droplets become heavy enough to fall as rain
- In colder altitudes, droplets freeze to form ice
Transportation
- Clouds are carried by wind
- Moved to other places
Rate of Evaporation
- Wet clothes dry faster when unfolded
- Larger surface area exposed to air increases rate of evaporation
- Other factors influencing evaporation rate: humidity, air temperature, air speed
