Water Cycle and Changes of State

The continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth is a fundamental natural process. Water transitions between various states—solid, liquid, and gas—through processes like evaporation, condensation, freezing, and melting.

Water Cycle and  Changes of State

Water Cycle and Changes of State

Steam

Is produced when water boils

Changing States of Water

Condensation
Takes place anytime
Lose heat and changing from gaseous state to liquid state
Boling
Gain heat and changing form liquid state to gaseous state.Takes place at 100 degrees Celcius
Evaporation
Factors

Wind

The stronger it is, the higher the rate of evaporation

Humidity

The higher it is,the lower the rate of evaporation.

Area of exposed surface

The larger it is ,the higher the rate of evaporation

Temperature

The higher it is,the rate of evaporation

Gaining heat and changing from liquid state to gaseous state and takes place at any temperature.
Melting
Gain heat and change from solid to liquid state and takes place at 0 degrees Celcius or higher.
Freezing
Lose heat and change from liquid to solid state.It takes place at 0 degrees Celcius

Water is heated up by the sun and rise to form water vapour.This process is called evaporation.Then,the water vapour condenses to form water droplets,.This process is called condensation.After that,they join together to form clouds.They then get heavy and fall as hail,rain,sleet or snow-depending on the temperature.This process is called precipitation.They then go back into the water bodies or soak into the ground .This process is called collection.Then ,the water cycle starts again.

Water

Is the only thing which exists in all three states
Liquid State

Water Droplets

Solid State

Ice,Snow

Visible

Gaseous State

Water Vapour,Steam

Invisible

Covers 2/3 of the Earth`s surface
Comes from Water Bodies

Impurities will lower the freezing point and higher the boiling point.
