Science - 7
28 cards·by mbnass
State of matter | ice
solid
state of mater - water - liquid H2O
liquid
state of matter water vapor
Gas
important for phase changes - need heat energy to change temperature of water - THERMAL ENERGY
heat energy
phase change from liquid to gas - heat needs to be absorbed by water
evaporation
phase change from liquid to gas - heat needs to be RELEASED by water
condensation
cohesion of water helps molecules create
Clouds
phase change from liquid to gas
freezing
phase change from solid to liquid
melting
change in state of matter from one form to another
phase change
solid water
ice
liquid
liquid water
gas
steam/water vapor
the way water moves through different forms and moves on, above, and through the earth
water cycle
drives teh water cycle (makes it all happen by giving heat)
sun
allows liquid water to evaporate into water vapor
sun
provides energy for sublimation
sun
rain, snow, sleet, hail, - cohesion causes water droplets to collect and become heavy enough
to fall out of the sky due to gravity
precipitation
water runs off the surface of the earth during a rainstorm towards low points
(downstream/downhill)
run off
water soaks into the ground, recharges groundwater and keeps plants alive
infiltration
how plants contribute to the water cycle
transpiration
how do plants contribute to the water cycle?
through capillary action, plants absorb water and water moves to their leaves; water on the
leaves evaporate
ice to water vaport, solid to gas
sublimation
water vapor to liquid water, gas to liquid
condensation
liquid water to ice, liquid to solid
freezing
ice to liquid water, solid to liquid
melting
liquid to water vapor, liquid to gas
evaporation
water vapor to ice, gas to solid
deposition
