when molecules in liquid water absorb energy the water evaporates
when ice melts heat is absorbed
how most of the water enters the atmosphere through evaporation
how sublimation is different from evaporation evaporation - liquid to gas, sublimation - solid directly to gas
why scientists express humidity as a mixing ratio rather than as absolute humidity mixing ratio depends only on mass; doesn't change when temperature or air pressure changes
if vapor pressure increases then the rate of condensation increases
if temperature decreases then the rate of evaporation decreases
if the rate of evaporation is greater than the rate of condensation then evaporation occurs
if the rate of condensation is greater than the rate of evaporation then condensation occurs
most important factor that determines a region's climate latitude

sunspots cooler regions of the photosphere
why the corona of the sun is visible during a total solar eclipse moon blocks the photosphere
solar flare a sudden eruption of charged particles from the sun

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
