4. Where does the water vapour go?
5. What is the effect of evaporation?
Task 2
Read the following text.
The Process of Rain
Water in the earth is kept in many places like the ocean, the river and the lake.
But don't be wrong, the plants leave and the land also kept water. Each day, this
water will evaporate with help of the sun. The process where water evaporates
from plants is called transpiration.
Afterwards the vapour will experience the process of condensation where the
vapour will condense and turn into a cloud. The form of the cloud always changes
according to weather conditions. The clouds will move to different locations with
the help of wind that bellows vertically or horizontally.
The movement of the vertical wind results in the cloud forming big 'lumps'.
After that, the wind increases the size of the cloud and each cloud will overlap.
Finally, the cloud will reach the atmosphere that has a lower temperature. Here the
particles of water and ice is formed.
Eventually, the wind cannot support the weight of the cloud and so the cloud
that is full with water will experience a process called precipitation or the process
where rain or hail falls to earth.
