Water Cycle, Dew Point & Relative Humidity

Front

What is the dew point?

Back

The temperature air cools down to reach condensation (or turn into a liquid).

Front

What happens when the dew point temperature and the actual air temperature are similar?

Back

Clouds and precipitation are more likely.

Front

What is the correct order of the water cycle?

Back

Radiation, evaporation, condensation, precipitation.

Front

What is the temperature at which water vapor turns back into liquid water called?

Back

Dew point.

Front

What is the amount of water vapor in the air known as?

Back

Humidity.

Front

What is evaporation in the water cycle?

Back

The process where liquid water turns into water vapor due to heat.

Front

What is condensation in the water cycle?

Back

The process where water vapor cools and turns back into liquid water.

Front

What role does radiation play in the water cycle?

Back

It provides the energy needed for evaporation.

Front

How does humidity affect weather?

Back

Higher humidity can lead to cloud formation and precipitation.

Front

What is precipitation?

Back

Any form of water, liquid or solid, that falls from the atmosphere to the ground.
