Students will be able to develop and explain a particle-level model to describe evaporation and condensation in the context of the water cycle. The water cycle depends on the processes of evaporation ...

Over two thirds of the Earth is covered in water. Water is vital to support all life on the planet. Water never leaves the Earth and its atmosphere. It simply moves around in what is called the water ...

One way that climate models are tested and improved is through a “model intercomparison project”. A number of modeling groups get together and use a collection of models to run the exact same ...
