| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| condensation | A phase change from a gas to a liquid; caused by the loss of energy |
| deposition | The process when snow and frost form when water vapor changes directly into a solid; caused by a loss of energy |
| dew point | The temperature at which water vapor begins to condense into liquid water |
| evaporation | A phase change from a liquid to a gas; caused by the gain of energy |
| fog | Water droplets suspended in the air at the surface of Earth which form ground-level clouds |
| freezing | A phase change from a liquid to a solid; caused by a loss of energy |
| humidity | A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air |
| absolute humidity | A measure of the mass of water vapor in a volume of air |
| relative humidity | A ratio comparing the amount of water vapor in the air with the total amount of water vapor that the air can hold at that temperature |
| melting | A phase change from solid to liquid; caused by the gain of energy |
| phase change | Any change in a solid, liquid, or gas to another physical state. It involves the transfer of energy but not a change in chemical composition |
| stratosphere | Layer of the atmosphere above the troposphere; clouds rarely form here and the air is very cold and thin |
| sublimation | A phase change directly from a solid to a gas; caused by a gain in energy |
| troposphere | The lowest layer of the atmosphere where almost all weather occurs |
| water cycle | The continuous circulation and phase changes of water throughout Earth’s crust, atmosphere, and oceans |
