Answers
Answer:
1.the envelope of gases surrounding the earth or another planet is called atmosphere.
2.Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapor in the air.
3.Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid.
4.Sedimentation is the tendency for particles in suspension to settle out of the fluid in which they are entrained and come to rest against a barrier
Explanation:
1.Atmosphere -The atmosphere of Earth is the layer of gases, commonly known as air, retained by Earth's gravity, surrounding the planet Earth and forming its planetary atmosphere.
2.Humidity - a quantity representing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere or in a gas.
OR
"the temperature is seventy-seven, the humidity in the low thirties"
atmospheric moisture.
"the humidity should be supplied by regularly spraying the leaves"
3.Filtration -Filtration is the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the latter to pass through the pores of some substance, called a filter. The liquid which has passed through the filter is called the filtrate.
4.Sedimentation -the process of settling or being deposited as a sediment.
"sedimentation occurs when the droplets sink to the bottom.
5.Deceantation-Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. ... An incomplete separation is witnessed during the separation of two immiscible liquids.
