PPT-Precipitation is any type of water that forms in the Earth's atmosphere and then drops

Water vapor droplets of water suspended in the air builds up in the Earths atmosphere Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog Water vapor collects with other materials such as dust in clouds Precipitation condenses or forms around these tiny pieces of material called cloud condensation nuclei CCN. Precipitation. We’ve studied the water cycle, and last week we focused on the “Condensation”. part. Now, we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle.. Let’s watch this video on Precipitation!. And its effects on our planet Earth. What is the Atmosphere. ?. The . envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet. .. Earth’s atmosphere consists of 5 major layers. Troposphere. Stratosphere. What is precipitation?. Water that falls from the sky, it can be in different forms.. Hail, sleet, snow, rain.. Rain. As warm air rises into the atmosphere it cools. The air creates water vapor which condenses and forms into clouds. Once the clouds are big enough and are holding enough water it begins to rain.. Earth’s . protective bubble. NASA accessed via Wikipedia . compared to the size of the Earth (10. 4. km), the atmosphere is a thin shell (120 km).. .

Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog. . Water vapor collects with other materials, such as dust, in clouds. Precipitation condenses, or forms, around these tiny pieces of material, called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).. transmitted. absorbed. reflected. 1. transmission. Radiation passes through atmosphere unimpeded.. Shortwave and longwave “windows” . 2. absorption. Energy is transferred to absorber; absorber emits energy. ATMOSPHERE Composition of the Atmosphere The atmosphere is comprised of a variety of gases: Major Constituents (99%): Nitrogen (N): 78% Oxygen (O 2 ): 21% Trace Constituents: Other: 1% Stage three . Lab. 2. Nasal drops . Nasal drops are aqueous or oily sol. Which are designed to be administered to the nasal passages in drop or spray form . They are commonly used for their antiseptic ,local analgesic or vasoconstrictor properties. Artificial rain making.. Process of Precipitation:. Precipitation is caused by condensation of water . vapours. of the air mass. . The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . Water Cycle. Water Cycle. Water . moves from the surface of the Earth to the air and then back to Earth’s surface . again.. Water Cycle. The water cycle is powered by the …. SUN. Evaporation. Write the word “evaporation” on your water cycle diagram.. . 7-. Evaporation. It is the process of converting water from liquid to gas and is also the process of transferring water vapor from the Earth or water bodies to the atmosphere where the sun is the source of evaporation energy. Evaporation often involves the erosion of plants, although together they are specifically referred to as evaporation..
