| Condensation | When water vapor touches something cooler, it condenses and forms a cloud. |
| Transpiration | When plants "sweat" and evaporate water through their leaves. |
| Is evaporation a cooling or warming process? | cooling |
| How does temperature effect evaporation? | The warmer it is, the faster water evaporates. |
| How does surface area effect evaporation? | The larger the surface area, the faster water evaporates. |
| Surface Area | The area of water that is touching the air. |
| What are the steps in order of the water cycle after water evaporates? | Evaporation, Condensation, precipitation, collection |
| Which 2 things make water evaporate faster? | warmer temperature and larger surface area |
| what causes water to form a dome on a flat surface? | surface tension |
| If something is LESS dense than water then it _________ | floats |
| If something is MORE dense (denser) than water then it ____________ | sinks |
| What shape does water make on a flat surface? | dome |
