6. Condensation
The process of transforming of water vapour into water (liquid) and ice (solid) is called condensation. Condensation takes place due to the loss of heat and can occur in one of the following ways: a. When the warm moist air rises upwards and expands. b. When the warm moist air comes in contact with the cold surface. c. When the warm moist air mixes with the air coming from the colder regions.
