    Condensation is the process of gaseous water (water vapor) turning into liquid water. Have you ever seen water on the outside of a cold glass on a humid day? That’s condensation.

  3. Water cycle, cycle that involves the continuous circulation of water in the Earth-atmosphere system. Of the many processes involved in the water cycle, the most important are evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. The total amount of water remains essentially constant.

  4. Condensation is the process through which the physical state of matter changes from the gaseous phase into the liquid phase. For example, condensation occurs when water vapour (gaseous form) in the air changes into liquid water when it comes in contact with a cooler surface.

    This process is called condensation. When a cloud becomes full of liquid water, it falls from the sky as rain or snow—also known as precipitation. Rain and snow then fill lakes and streams, and the process starts all over again.

  6. Water Goes Down. Water cycle steps on the Earth’s crust are highly dependent on the type of ecosystem. These steps are water condensation, precipitation, and deposition. Water does not fall to earth in the form of water vapor. As water vapor rises, it loses heat energy through continuous motion.

    Condensation is the process whereby water vapor is changed into a liquid state. In the atmosphere, condensation may appear as clouds or dew. This is also the process whereby water appears on the side of an uninsulated cold drink can or bottle.

    Condensation is the process of a gas changing to a liquid. In the water cycle, water vapor in the atmosphere condenses and becomes liquid. Condensation can happen high in the atmosphere or at ground level. Clouds form as water vapor condenses, or becomes more concentrated (dense).

    The water cycle describes where water is on Earth and how it moves. Human water use, land use, and climate change all impact the water cycle. By understanding these impacts, we can work toward using water sustainably.

    The water cycle is the journey water takes as it moves from the land to the sky and back again. It follows a cycle of evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection.

    CONDENSATION. Condensation is the process by which water vapor changes it's physical state from a vapor, most commonly, to a liquid. Water vapor condenses onto small airborne particles to form dew, fog, or clouds.
