<p>What is condensation?</p>

What is condensation?

Condensation is the process in which water vapor in the air cools and changes back into liquid water, forming clouds.

5
New cards

Precipitation is any form of water, such as rain, snow, sleet, or hail, that falls from clouds to the surface of the Earth as a result of condensation.

What is precipitation?

6
New cards

Collection refers to the accumulation of water in various bodies, including rivers, lakes, oceans, and groundwater, from where it can evaporate again, completing the cycle.

What is collection in the water cycle?

7
New cards

The water cycle is essential for sustaining life on Earth, regulating climate, replenishing water supplies, and supporting ecosystems by ensuring the distribution of fresh water.

Why is the water cycle important?

8
New cards

Factors affecting the water cycle include temperature, humidity, wind patterns, vegetation cover, and human activity such as urbanization and deforestation which can alter natural water flows.

What are some factors that affect the water cycle?

New cards

Aquifers are natural underground layers of water-bearing rock or sediment that store groundwater, providing a vital water source.

What are aquifers?

12
New cards

A watershed is an area of land that drains water, such as rainfall or meltwater, into a specific body of water, like a river or lake.

What is watershed?

13
New cards

Weather refers to short-term atmospheric conditions, while climate describes average weather patterns over a long period.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

14
New cards

Humidity is the amount of moisture in the air, which is a key factor in the processes of the water cycle.

What is humidity?

15
New cards

The water cycle is essential for maintaining life by replenishing freshwater resources, supporting ecosystems, and regulating climate.

What is the significance of the water cycle?

16
New cards

Climate change can intensify the water cycle, leading to more extreme weather events, changing precipitation patterns, and greater evaporation.

What are the effects of climate change on the water cycle?

17
New cards

Runoff is the water that flows over the surface of the ground after precipitation, ultimately returning to lakes, rivers, and oceans.

What is runoff?

18
New cards

Clouds form during condensation, playing a crucial role in transporting water vapor and facilitating precipitation.

What is the role of clouds in the water cycle?

19
New cards

Atmospheric water vapor is water in its gaseous state present in the atmosphere, crucial for the processes of condensation and precipitation.

What is atmospheric water vapor?

20
New cards

Sublimation is the process where ice or snow changes directly into water vapor without first becoming liquid.

What is sublimation?

21
New cards

Deforestation can reduce transpiration and alter local precipitation patterns, negatively affecting the water cycle.

What is the impact of deforestation on the water cycle?

22
New cards

Climate variability refers to short-term fluctuations in climate patterns, which can influence the frequency and intensity of water cycle processes.

What is climate variability?

23
New cards

Microclimates are localized areas within an ecosystem that experience different climate conditions due to varying factors such as vegetation and topography.

What are microclimates?
