    Water Cycle Atomospheric Conditions

    Uploaded by

    EUNICE CORREA
    The document discusses how the water cycle explains atmospheric conditions on Earth. It explains that the stages of the water cycle - evaporation, condensation, and precipitation - are connected to atmospheric conditions like temperature, humidity, clouds and wind. For example, higher temperatures cause more evaporation and higher humidity, while lower temperatures cause water vapor to condense into clouds or precipitation. The water cycle diagram shows how temperature determines the type of precipitation through different stages of condensation.

    Essential Question:

    How does the water cycle explain


    various atmospheric conditions on
    the Earth?

    Standard:
    S6E3b. Relate various atmospheric
    conditions to stages of the water cycle 1
    Water Cycle Pretest

    2
    Remembering the Water Cycle

    Water
    Vapor
    Molecules
    3
    Stages of the Water Cycle are
    connected to atmospheric
    conditions.

    Turn to an elbow partner and


    discuss what is meant by
    atmospheric condition and
    possible examples.
    4
    Atmospheric condition refers to
    the state of the atmosphere in
    terms of temperature and wind
    and clouds and precipitation.
    5
    In this lesson, we are going to look
    at some of the atmospheric
    conditions that are related to various
    stages of the Water Cycle.

    6
    Use your graphic organizer to
    record important information
    during the lesson.

    Evaporation

    8
    Water Vapor
    Molecules

    Heat evaporates
    water into water vapor
    (gaseous state). Water vapor
    molecules fit into
    spaces among the
    molecules that
    make up air.

    9
    Humidity is the amount of water
    vapor present in the air.

    10
    11
    How does temperature affect evaporation?
    What atmospheric condition occurs
    due to evaporation?

    Higher temperatures mean


    more evaporation. More
    evaporation
    means more water
    vapor in the air
    (higher humidity).

    12
    At cooler temperatures water
    vapor molecules slow down and
    form droplets of liquid water.
    The air is saturated (holding as
    much water vapor as it can).

    13
    Clouds form when water
    vapor condenses in tiny droplets
    around small particles
    such as dust and salt.

    14
    Dew Point is the
    temperature at
    which air is
    saturated and
    condensation
    forms.

    15
    Other Forms of
    Condensation

    Condensation can occur


    whenever air becomes saturated
    (holding as much water vapor as
    it can).

    16
    Other Forms of
    Condensation

    When water vapor molecules


    suspended in the atmosphere
    at or near the earth's surface
    cool and condense, fog can
    occur (a cloud next to
    the surface)
    17
    Other Forms of
    Condensation

    Dew forms when


    water droplets condense
    from the air, usually at night,
    onto cool surfaces near the
    ground. Frost may form when
    temperatures are near 0°C.

    Condensation

    Precipitation
    When liquid water droplets
    combine and grow too large for
    the atmosphere to support their
    weight, the droplets fall.

    Precipitation
    Air temperature determines which form
    of Precipitation occurs
