Question

4. Differentiate between the following.
(a) Evaporation and Condensation

(b) Spring tide and Neap tide

(c) Warm ocean current and Cold ocean current
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A. EVAPORATION

evaporation is a process used to change liquid to gaseous state

CONDENSATION

condensation is a process used to change gaseous to liquid state

Answer 2

Answer:

HERE ARE YOUR ANSWERS

Explanation:

(a) Evaporation is a process where water changes into vapour. Condensation is the opposite process where water vapour is converted to tiny droplets of water. Evaporation occurs before a liquid reaches its boiling point. Condensation is a phase change regardless of the temperature.

(b) Spring tides have higher high tides and lower low tides whereas neap tides have lower high tides and higher low tides. Hence, the range (difference in water level between high and low tide) is much larger in a spring tide than in a low tide.

(c) Warm ocean currents flow away from the equatorial region on the western side of ocean basins. The Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic and the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific are examples of warm currents.

Cold currents flow toward the equator on the eastern side of ocean basins. Examples of cold ocean currents include the Canary Current in the North Atlantic, the California Current inthe North Pacific, and the Benguela Current in the South Atlantic.
