DQ_000514 | How can mountains protect certain land areas from rain? | question_images/rain_shadow_7529.png | a. by causing evaporation, b. by creating orographic precipitation, c. by forming rain shadow, d. by strengthening prevailing winds | c | DD_0176 | image | teaching_images/cycle_water_1503.png | This diagram shows the processes of the water cycle. It takes place on, above, and below Earths surface. During the water cycle, water occurs in three different states: gas (water vapor), liquid (water), and solid (ice). Many processes are involved as water changes state to move through the cycle. One of the processes is called Evaporation. It takes place when water on Earths surface changes to water vapor. The sun heats the water and turns it into water vapor which escapes up into the atmosphere. Most evaporation occurs from the surface of the ocean. Sublimation is another process takes place when snow and ice on Earths surface change directly to water vapor without first melting to form liquid water. This also happens because of heat from the sun. Transpiration is yet another process that takes place when plants release water vapor through pores in their leaves called stomata. As the water vapor rises up into the earth's atmosphere, it cools and condenses. Condensation is the process of converting water vapor into water droplets.If the droplets get big enough, they fall as precipitation. Precipitation is any form of water that falls from the atmosphere. Precipitation that falls on land may flow over the surface of the ground. This water is called runoff.The runoff may reach a water body such as an ocean or get soaked into the ground. | 0.860196 |

The water in the water cycle exists in three different phases, liquid, solid (ice) and gas (water vapor). Water from lakes and oceans evaporates and is carried by rising air currents in the atmosphere. In the atmosphere the water vapor condenses and forms tiny droplets of water that form clouds. When the droplets get big enough the water comes back to earth in the form of precipitation. Precipitation can be in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. Eventually the water evaporates again and the cycle starts over. Water can also enter the atmosphere through trees and plants from a process called transpiration. | 0.829864 |

Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow. As winds rise up a mountain range the air cools and precipitation falls. On the other side of the range the air is dry and it sinks. So there is very little precipitation on the far (leeward) side of a mountain range. Figure 17.8 shows how this happens. | 0.596355 |

A front may become stationary if an air mass is stopped by a barrier, such as a mountain range. A stationary front may bring days of rain, drizzle, and fog. Winds usually blow parallel to the front, but in opposite directions. After several days, the front will likely break apart. | 0.510935 |

It takes place on, above, and below Earths surface. During the water cycle, water occurs in three different states: gas (water vapor), liquid (water), and solid (ice). Many processes are involved as water changes state to move through the cycle. One of the processes is called Evaporation. It takes place when water on Earths surface changes to water vapor. The sun heats the water and turns it into water vapor which escapes up into the atmosphere. Most evaporation occurs from the surface of the ocean. Sublimation is another process takes place when snow and ice on Earths surface change directly to water vapor without first melting to form liquid water. This also happens because of heat from the sun. Transpiration is yet another process that takes place when plants release water vapor through pores in their leaves called stomata. As the water vapor rises up into the earth's atmosphere, it cools and condenses. Condensation is the process of converting water vapor into water droplets.If the droplets get big enough, they fall as precipitation. Precipitation is any form of water that falls from the atmosphere. Precipitation that falls on land may flow over the surface of the ground. This water is called runoff.The runoff may reach a water body such as an ocean or get soaked into the ground. | 0.716985 |
