How Water Changes Form
Posted on 6:11 pm by Jas
The water cycle furnish energy from the sun to do the process
There are three forms of water appear on Earth the solid, the liquid and the gas. Liquid is the most usual form of water.It forms huge bodies of water such as the oceans, lakes and ground water. Solid waters forms the ice. Glacial ice covers most of Greenland and Antarctica. Water vapor is another kind of water now in the form of a gas in the air.
Water changes in these three different forms. It undergoes changes from one form to another. One of the way is in the process of “evaporation” in which liquid water changes into a gas water. Evaporation is a process of cooling. one of the example is the perspiration from the skin. When the perspiration from the skin dries, the water evaporates as it cools. When this happen the body losses its heat and we fell colder.
A warm air has the capability to hold more water than the cool air can. In the time that the warm moist air is cooled it will then changed into a liquid form. This activity is another process which is called “condensation”, wherein gas water change into a liquid water. Water can also be changed into a solid in the form if ice. This is possible when the temperature of the water goes down into its freezing point.
The suns energy changes some of the waters in the oceans and other bodies of water into water vapor. The water vapor will then carried by the wind through the air. At times the air cools, these vapors will condense into little drops of water in the form of clouds. The waters in the clouds falls to the ground in the form of rain or snow and flows into the ground, oceans and other bodies of water. Then the sun will change some of these waters again into water vapors and the water cycle repeats again and again.
