Evaporation fog (or cold advection fog) is formed when cold, stable air moves over a much warmer body of water. Evaporation from the warm body of water saturates the cold air above; water vapour condenses in the cold air producing “steam fog” or “sea smoke”, or, in polar regions, “Arctic sea smoke”.
Q. What is called vaporization?
Vaporization, conversion of a substance from the liquid or solid phase into the gaseous (vapour) phase. If conditions allow the formation of vapour bubbles within a liquid, the vaporization process is called boiling. Direct conversion from solid to vapour is called sublimation.

Q. What happens to particles after vaporization?
Liquids evaporate faster as they heat up and more particles have enough energy to break away. The particles need energy to overcome the attractions between them. Eventually even particles in the middle of the liquid form bubbles of gas in the liquid. At this point the liquid is boiling and turning to gas.
Q. How important is evaporation and condensation to your life?
Evaporation is a very important part of the water cycle. Once water evaporates, it also helps form clouds. The clouds then release the moisture as rain or snow. Condensation is crucial to the water cycle because it is responsible for the formation of clouds.
Q. What happens first condensation or evaporation?
Evaporation is the change of state of water (a liquid) to water vapor (a gas). On average, about 47 inches (120 cm) is evaporated into the atmosphere from the ocean each year. Condensation is the process where water vapor (a gas) changes into water droplets (a liquid). This is when we begin to see clouds.
Q. What happens if there is no evaporation?
If there was no evaporation plants would die. If there was no evaporation the ocean stays blue but the land turns brown. Heat from the sun causes water to evaporate into a water vapor, a gas. … Water would not cycle back up into the atmosphere and it would not rain.
