Earth Systems - Exam 3 Questions and Answers 100% Pass The Impact of Moisture on the Landscape - Correct Answer️️ -Formation of fog, haze, clouds, and precipitation Short term impacts of precipitation-floods Longer term impacts of the absence of precipitation-drought Geologic term impacts (i.e. caves) on Earth's surface The Hydrologic Cycle - Correct Answer️️ -Circulation of Earth's water supply between atmosphere and surface is called the _____________ _______________ Liquid water evaporates into air, condenses into liquid or solid states, and returns as form of precipitation Stored in water bodies, also in soil, clouds, water vapor, in the biosphere, and polar ice Chemistry of Water - Correct Answer️️ -2 hydrogen and one oxygen molecule (H2O) Covalent bonds Electrical polarity of water molecule Hydrogen bonds Properties of Water - Correct Answer️️ -Liquidity, Ice Expansion, Surface Tension, Capillarity, Solvent Ability, Specific Heat Capacity Liquidity - Correct Answer️️ -Exists as a liquid at temps found most places on Earth's surface Ice Expansion - Correct Answer️️ -Expands when freezes, less dense than liquid, ice floats on liquid Surface Tension - Correct Answer️️ -Polarity and cohesion gives water high ______________ _______________ Capillarity - Correct Answer️️ -Water's adhesion allows it to "stick" to other substances, moving upward when confined, Solvent Ability - Correct Answer️️ -Dissolves almost any substance, so water in nature nearly always impure Specific Heat Capacity - Correct Answer️️ -Absorbs enormous amount of energy with small increase in temperature Solid (Ice), Liquid (Liquid Water), Gas (Water Vapor) - Correct Answer️️ -Water typically exists in 3 states... Condensation - Correct Answer️️ -Gas to Liquid Evaporation - Correct Answer️️ -Liquid to Gas Freezing - Correct Answer️️ -Liquid to Solid Melting - Correct Answer️️ -Solid to Liquid Sublimation - Correct Answer️️ -Solid to Gas and Gas to Solid Latent Heat - Correct Answer️️ -Required for each phase change colorless, odorless, invisible - Correct Answer️️ -Properties of water Evaporation - Correct Answer️️ -Warmer temperatures __________ more water Windiness increases __________ Evapotranspiration - Correct Answer️️ -the process by which water is transferred from the land to the atmosphere by evaporation from the soil and other surfaces and by transpiration from plants. Humidity - Correct Answer️️ -The amount of water vapor in the air Vapor Pressure - Correct Answer️️ -contribution of water vapor to total atmospheric pressure Relative humidity - Correct Answer️️ -Relative how close the air is to saturation Saturation - Correct Answer️️ -the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold depends on temperature temperature and relative humidity - Correct Answer️️ -_________ and ___
