Classroom Note:

Condensation Of Water

Condensation is the process where water vapor in the air turns into liquid water. It plays a key role in the water cycle and is essential for creating rainfall and dew. This process is important for maintaining our water resources and supporting life on Earth.

Importance Of Condensation In Water Cycle

Formation of Clouds: Condensation plays a vital role in forming clouds. When water vapor rises and cools in the atmosphere, it condenses into tiny droplets, creating clouds.
Precipitation: Condensation is essential for precipitation. Clouds formed from condensation eventually become heavy, leading to rain, snow, or hail, which is crucial for replenishing water sources on earth.
Regulation of Earth’s Temperature: Condensation helps regulate the Earth’s temperature. It releases heat into the atmosphere, partly balancing the temperature of the Earth.
Supporting Ecosystems: Rain and snow from condensation are vital for ecosystems, providing necessary water for plants, animals, and humans.

Water Purification: Condensation in the water cycle acts as a natural purification process. As water evaporates and then condenses, it leaves impurities behind, resulting in cleaner water when it precipitates.
