TERMS TO

UNDERSTAND
EVAPORATION
• THE CHANGING OF PHYSICAL STATE OF WATER FROM LIQUID TO
GAS BELOW ITS BOILING POINT
• IT HAPPENS WHEN HEAT IS SUPPLIED

CONDENSATION
THE CHANGING OF PHYSICAL STATE OF WATER FROM GAS TO
LIQUID
IT HAPPENS WHEN TEMPERATURE IS LOWERED DOWN
 WHAT HAPPENS IN
THE WATER CYCLE

EVAPORATION FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

WATER EVAPORATES FROM VARIOUS WATER BODIES LIKE
PONDS,RIVERS,LAKES ,OCEANS ETC

WATER ALSO EVAPORATES FROM THE BODIES OF LIVING

ORGANISMS(SWEAT OF ANIMALS & TRANSPIRATION OF
PLANTS)

RESPIRATION & EXCRETION OF LIVING BEINGS,

INDUSTRIAL & OTHER ACTIVITIES, NATURAL PROCESSES
LIKE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS ALSO LEAD TO ADDITION
WATER IN AIR IN GASEOUS STATE
 CONDENSATION OF WATER VAPOURS
ADDED TO AIR

WATER VAPOURS IN AIR FORM CLOUDS

DUE TO CONDENSATION OF WATER VAPOURS, THEY ARE CONVERTED

TO WATER DROPLETS WHICH FALL BACK AT EARTH IN THE FORM OF
RAIN OR SNOW
SNOW ALSO MELTS TO FORM WATER. THIS WATER FILLS UP IN
VARIOUS WATER BODIES, ABSORBED BY
EARTH(UNDERGROUND WATER), OR IS CONSUMED BY LIVING
BEINGS

AGAIN EVAPORATION TAKES PLACE. WATER IS ADDED TO

AIR WHICH CONDENCES TO LIGUID STATE AND THE CYCLIC
PROCESS KEEPS GOING ON
