Evaporation & Condensation (detailed) — free printable diagram

About this illustration

Detailed labeled diagram illustrating the evaporation and condensation cycle. The sun heats a liquid water surface (25°C), causing rising water vapour particles (H₂O) to ascend into a cool air zone (10°C) where a cloud forms. Condensation droplets (H₂O) fall as rain via descending rain arrows back to the liquid water surface (15°C on right side). Two definition boxes explain EVAPORATION (liquid H₂O changes to water vapour H₂O) and CONDENSATION (water vapour H₂O changes to liquid water H₂O). A five-step flow diagram at the bottom summarises the cycle: Liquid Water (H₂O) (25°C) → EVAPORATION (heat added) Liquid→Gas → Water Vapour (H₂O) (Gas) → CONDENSATION (cool air) Gas→Liquid → Liquid Water (H₂O) (Rain).
