what step in the water cycle in which water vapor becomes liquid water is?

A. Condensation. One might say D. but this would be wrong because the vapour has first to condense into tiny droplets (in clouds) which then clump together to form rain or snow (precipitation).\n\nNote that the other answers are 'blinds'. Nitrogen fixation has nothing to do with the water cycle. Recycling refers to re-using waste material. They are put there to test whether you know absolutely nothing, have heard some words about it, understand a little or have a good grasp of the subject.\n\nIf the question were marked out of 2, I would give 2 marks to A., 1 mark to D., maybe half a mark to C. if I felt the rest of the answers in the paper showed promise and no marks to B.\n\nWhen you are doing tests, it very often helps to ask, "Why are they asking this question?", "What piece of knowledge are they testing?" and "Why these particular options?"

"Rain plays a major role in the hydrologic cycle in which moisture from the oceans evaporates, condenses into clouds, precipitates back to earth, and eventually returns to the ocean via streams and rivers to repeat the cycle again. There is also a small amount of water vapor that respires from plants and evaporates to join other water molecules in condensing into clouds"\n\n" 90% of atmospheric water comes from evaporation, while the remaining 10% is from transpiration."\n\n The total amount, or mass, of water in the water cycle remains essentially constant, as does the amount of water in each reservoir of the water cycle. This means that rate of water added to one reservoir must equal, on average over time, the rate of water leaving the same reservoir.\n\nThe adjacent table (at the site below) contains the amount of water that falls as precipitation or rises as evaporation, for both the land and oceans. The runoff and groundwater discharge from the land to the oceans is also included. From the law of the conservation of mass, whatever water moves into a reservoir, on average, the same volume must leave. For example, 107 thousand cubic km (107 × 10³ km³) of water falls on land each year as precipitation. This is equal to the sum of the evaporation (71 × 10³ km³/year) and runoff (36 × 10³ km³/year) of water from the land."

I answered your previous post....  It seems like you don't understand the process of evaporation (turning from liquid to gas).  For example:\nAt 100 degreesC, water can be a gas, a liquid, or both.  However, as a gas at 100C, water vapor contains more energy than liquid water at 100C.  The process of evaporation (turning liquid into gas) requires energy that is not registered as an increase in temperature.  Each change in state (solid to liquid, liquid to gas) requires and "extra boost" of energy not registered as temperature to the material changing states. (Also think about ice water...)\nSo, when the the compressed liquid refrigerant is allowed to expand and turn into gas (evaporation) the surrounding energy within the refrigerator "boils" the the refrigerant giving the refrigerant the energy to turn into a gas...\nThis whole process would not be possible without the compressor.\nThe refrigerant gas, normally pure ammonia, boils at       -27C @ ambient pressure.  But through compression it is turned into liquid at room temp.  But when it is allowed to expand in the coils within the refrigerator it quickly boils turning into a gas "absorbing" the required energy from interior of the refrigerator....  So, if some how the inside of the refrigerator was -30C the liquid ammonia would fail to turn into a gas and the liquid amonia would actually be warming the interior since it was initially a liquid at room temp....

Look up "hydrologic cycle":\n\n1. evaporation / sublimation / transpiration\n2. atmospheric storage \n3. condensation / precipitation\n4. runoff / infiltration

the water cycle is what it says it is,the cycle water goes through.there has always been the same amount of water in the earth at all times.basically it is recycled.water from bodies of water is evaporated and rises into the atmosphere.it isnt all H2O.it contains all of the impurities and other elements also.the partcles form clouds and when they get heavy enuogh it rains.but it isnt just rain from the beginning.as it falls ,it starts out as frozen water(snow)and as it falls toward the earth,it melts into raindrops.i hope this helps.

air and water vapor\n\ntheir volume depends on temperature and pressure

evaporation... but actually evaporation is when a liquid becomes less dense so the molecules rise into the atmosphere! my answer is clearly the best!!!

ok i have 2 possible answers. one is evaporation (the part of the water cycle in which water is put back in the sky and turns into clouds. that is my #1 answer but it could be possible that it is photosythesis because of what the plants do during that process but if u still have trouble go to where i go. www.google.com

the water is relesed as vapor from the liquid when the liquid is heated. Water changes phase and becomes gas, its called evaporation.

It works by removing the water vapour (like steam) from the air. Water vapour condenses back to a solid for when it meets a cold surface. The water then appears as if from knowhere (as in condensation on a glass or can containing a cold drink) This action takes place when the dew point of the vapourised liquid is reached

In general, a gas turns into a liquid by cooling it.

Well the sun comes out heats up the water and it turns into water vapor and goes through comdencation  which forms a cloud

its called phase change of water, but it is given a common name known as evaporation

It is called latent heat or the amount of heat required to change phases.  The latent heat of vaporization is usually much great than that of freezing.\n\nEach chemical or molecule has a different latent heat to change from liquid to gas.  It is also interesting that when water vapor condenses into liquid water, it gives off the exact same amount of energy that it took to boil it.\n\nNow think of dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide).  It goes straight from solid to gas (sublimation) and think about how much of a kick (freezing power) it has.

Water that is evaporating is not the same as water boiling. evaporation is the loss water from the surface that is still water in very small amounts that become suspended in the air. Boiling that occurs at 100c is a state change in the water where the bonds in the water lattice have been broken. The steam then coming in contact with the cooler surrounding air then rapidly cools and forms water droplets on cooler surfaces or in the air and just like fog is a saturation of the air with water and you can see it so you also can see the steam re condensing into water in the air.

To turn liquid water into steam the weak bonds between the molecules have to be broken and the molecules accelerated enough to leave the water surface and become vapour. This requires energy supplied by heating. \n\nNow add salt.\n\nThe salt consists of NaCl crystals. In water these dissolve into Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions will become surrounded by water molecules that are attracted to them, forming large clumps of molecules. To break these bonds requires more energy than in the case where the salt was absent.\n\nWe have to supply this extra energy and the result is boiling at a higher temperature.

You <can> measure steam. It is merely water in a gaseous state; gases occupy volume just like liquids.\n\nI'm not totally sure what you're asking though. Do you mean that during the boiling process, 1tsp (0.005L) of liquid water generates 2 gallons (7.5708L) of water vapour? \n\nThat's a pretty massive expansion, but if it is the case, the ratio of liquid:steam would be\n0.005:7.5708\nor\n0.001:1.51416\nor \n1:1514.16
