Question Description

Lab Exercise: Atmospheric Heating (30 points)

(It is not necessary to actually conduct the listed experiments. Instead, just a close guess of what would happen is fine.)

Part 1. Please answer the following questions in your own words:

1. Explain the water cycle.
2. What is dew point?
3. Which source would evaporate faster, lake water or groundwater, and why?
