The water vapour present in the air condenses and forms tiny water droplets present on leaves on early morning. This is called dew. Note: It is similar to rain because it forms from condensing water vapour.

In cold weather, water vapour condenses into fine droplets and settles on dust particles in the air. These condensed droplets hang in the air and make it difficult for us to see clearly. This is called mist. When the mist is very thick, it is called fog.

The water vapour gets condensed into water droplets. Water droplets collect together and form clouds. When the water becomes too much for the clouds to hold, then it falls down. This is known as rain.

In some extremely cold places, the temperature falls below zero degree Celsius. This causes the water vapour present in the air to freeze and deposit itself on the grass or leaves in the form of white powdery mass. This is called frost.

Match the following. Column A Column B 1. Water can flow a. by filtration 2. You can purify water b. on windy days 3. The rate of evaporation increases c. when the air is dry 4. Water evaporates faster d. through porous rocks

When it rains, some of the water seeps into the ground. This water passes through the soil and through the porous rocks. The impurities in water are removed by pouring it through a filter paper. We can purify water by a process called filtration. Evaporation rates are generally higher in hot, dry and windy climates. Water evaporates faster when the air is warm and dry. Column A Column B 1.
