Test Your Knowledge: Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation Quiz

📚 Quick Study Guide

• ☀️ Evaporation: The process where a liquid turns into a gas due to an increase in temperature. Think of water disappearing from a puddle on a sunny day.
• 🧊 Condensation: The opposite of evaporation; it's when a gas (like water vapor) turns into a liquid due to a decrease in temperature. This is how clouds form!
• 🌧️ Precipitation: Any form of water falling from the sky. This includes rain, snow, sleet, and hail.
• 🌡️ The rate of evaporation is affected by temperature, humidity, and surface area. Higher temperature = faster evaporation.
• 🌬️ Air pressure affects both evaporation and condensation. Lower pressure favors evaporation.
