Vocabulary Evaporation : Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into gas. For water to evaporate, it obviously need extra energy. Condensation : Condensation : is the process by which a gas such as water vapor changes into liquid. Precipitation : Any type of liquid or solid water that falls back to earth’s surface. Humidity : Is the amount of water vapor in air. Saturation : A condition in which the rates of evaporation and condensation are equal. Relative Humidity : Compares the amount of water vapor in air with the maximum amount of water vapor that can be present at the temperature. Dew point : is the Temperature at which air with a given amount of water vapor reach it saturation. Freezing rain : Covers surfaces with a coating of ice. Sleet : The small pellets of ice that form Hail : Lumps or balls of ice that fall from cumulonimbus clouds.

Water in air Vast amounts of earth water are Recycled. The ocean hold most of the water. Water also stored in lakes, rivers and ice sheets; in plants; and underground.

Water in Air Energy from sunlight causes molecules to evaporate from surface of body of water. These molecules become part of the air in the form of water vapor.

Water in air As air rises in the atmosphere, it cools. The loss of heat causes water vapor to condense into tiny water droplets or ice crystals. If the droplets or crystals grow and become heavy enough, they fall as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Water in air Any type of liquid or solid water that falls to earth surface is called Precipitation. Earth water goes through a never-ending cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Water in air Water vapor can also condense on solid surfaces. Sometimes, most of the people got there shoes wet while walking on grass. That’s because the grass was covered with dew, which is water that has condensed on cool surfaces at night. If the temperature is cold enough, water vapor can change directly into a covering of ice, called frost.

Water Cycle Steps Step 1 : Water evaporates from bodies of water such as lakes, rivers and oceans Step 2 : Water vapor condenses to form clouds. Step 3 : Water falls to earths surface as precipitation, which is rain.

Humidity and relative humidity On a warm sunny day, evaporation of moisture from your skin can help you feel comfortable. However, a lot of Water vapor in the air can cause less moisture to evaporate from your skin. With less evaporation, the air will seem hotter and damper.

Humidity and relative humidity The amount of water vapor in air at saturation depends on the temperature of the air. The warmer air is, the more water vapor it takes to saturate it.

Water vapor condenses and forms clouds. Clouds are made of condensed water vapor. As warm air rises in the atmosphere, it cools. When the air cools to its dew point, the temperature at which air reaches saturation. Water vapor condenses into tiny droplets or ice crystals. These droplets and crystals are so light that they either float as clouds on rising air or falls very slowly.

Characteristics of clouds Clouds have different characteristics because they form under different conditions. The shapes and sizes of clouds are mainly determined by air movement.

Characteristics of Clouds Location affects the composition of clouds. Since the troposphere gets colder with altitude, clouds that form at high altitude are made of tiny crystals. Closer to earths surface, Clouds are made of water droplets or a mixture of ice crystals and water droplets.

Cloud Names comes from… Cirrus : means “ Curl of hair” Cirrus clouds appear feathery or wispy. Cumulus : means “ Heap” or “ Pile” , Cumulus type clouds can grow to be tall Stratus : means “Spread out” , Stratus type clouds form in flat layers.

Cirrus Clouds Cirrus clouds form in very cold air at high altitudes. Made of ice crystals, they have a wispy of feathery appearance. Strong winds often blow streamers or “tails” off cirrus clouds. These features show the direction of wind in the upper troposphere, You will usually see cirrus clouds in fair weather, However, they can be a sign that storm is approaching.

Cumulus Clouds Cumulus clouds are puffy white clouds with darker bases. They look like cotton balls floating in the sky. There are several varieties of cumulus clouds. Usually they appear in daytime in fair weather, when warm air rises and its water vapor condense. Cooler air sinks along the sides of the clouds, keeping cumulus clouds separate from one another.

Stratus Clouds They form in layers when air cools over a large area without rising or when the air is gently lifted. Stratus clouds are smooth because they form without strong air movement.

Fog Fog is a cloud that rests on the ground or body of water. Like stratus clouds, fog has a smooth appearance. It usually forms when a surface cools, forming a thick mist. Fog on land tends to be heaviest at dawn, after the ground has cooled overnight, it clears as the Ground is heated up by sunlight.

Types Of Precipitation Rain and Drizzle : Rain is the most common type of precipitation. Raindrops form from liquid cloud droplets or from ice crystals that melt as they fall. A light rain with a very small drops is called Drizzle. Drizzle usually comes from stratus clouds, which don’t have enough air movement to build up larger raindrops.

Types Of Precipitation Freezing Rain : Raindrops may freeze when they hit the ground or other surfaces in cold weather. Freezing rain covers surfaces with coating of ice. During a ice storm, roads become slippery and dangerous. The weight of ice can also bring down trees and power lines.

Types Of Precipitation Sleet : When rain passes through a layer of cold air, it can freeze before hitting the ground. The small pellets of ice that form are called Sleets.

Types Of Precipitation Snow : As ice crystals grow and merge in clouds, they become snowflakes. Snowflakes come in many different shapes and sizes. Usually they have six sides or branches. When snow falls through moist air that is near freezing, the flakes tend to join together in clumps. When snow falls through colder and drier air, snowflakes don’t join together, and the snow is powdery.

Types Of Precipitation Hail : Surprisingly, the largest type of frozen precipitation often arrives in warm weather. Lumps or balls of ice that fall from cumulonimbus clouds are called Hail, During a thunderstorm, violent air currents hurl ice pellets around the cloud. These pellets grow ass water droplets freeze onto them at high elevations. Some this process several times, adding a layer of ice each time. Eventually they fall back to the ground.

Precipitation can carry pollution. Rainwater is naturally a little acidic. Acid Rain is the rain that has become much more acidic than normal because of pollution. Factories, power plants, automobiles, and some natural sources release sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides into the air. These gases can be combine with water vapor to form sulfuric acid and nitric acid. The acids mix with cloud droplets or ice crystals that eventually fall to earths surface as Precipitation which is Actually Dangerous.
