Water Cycle = Steps/how it's affected | 1.Evaporation 2.Condensation 3.Precipitation 4.Run-off -Affected by temperature, pressure, wind and elevation of land. |
Water Cycle- Step examples/what they do | Evaporation; Water evaporates from the ocean/bodies of water Condensation; Clouds form when water vapor condenses into water droplets/ice crystals Precipitation; Ice crystals fall from clouds |
Sublimation/Frost formation | -Possible paths in water cycle Sublimation; ice changing to water vapor without first melting |
Types of Clouds/How they look | Cirrus:Thin/wispy/white, high altitude Cumulonimbus:Grow vertically/air rise inside pushes up can cause thunderstorms Altocumulus:Midlevel, small puffy balls,bottoms look dark-no direct sunlight Stratus:Cover whole sky, little sunlight |
Types of Clouds/How they look-fog | Fog:Air near ground cools-water vapor condenses to tiny droplets=form a cloud near ground When more droplets form/get larger, fog appears thicker. |
