Water Vapor
Water vapor is the gaseous form of water. It is an invisible gas that is formed when water evaporates or boils. Water vapor is a key component of the Earth's atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the water cycle.
Formation of Water Vapor
Water vapor is formed through the process of evaporation, where liquid water is converted into a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature. Additionally, water can also vaporize through boiling, where it reaches its boiling point and turns into vapor.
Importance of Water Vapor
Water vapor is important for several reasons:
- It is a greenhouse gas, which helps regulate the Earth's temperature by trapping heat in the atmosphere.
- It is a crucial component of the water cycle, as it is involved in the processes of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.
- It influences weather patterns and cloud formation.

LIFE SCIENCE
From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
Create representations to explain the unique and diverse life cycles of organisms other than humans (e.g., flowering plants, frogs, butterflies), including commonalities such as birth, growth, reproduction, and death.
Unity and Diversity
Construct an argument from evidence to explain the likelihood of an organism’s ability to survive when compared to the resources in a certain habitat (e.g., freshwater organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in saltwater; desert organisms survive well, less well, or not at all in woodlands).
Create models that illustrate how organisms and their habitats make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
