Weird Water Events by Mrs. Whalen

Fog tsunami

1555263 — 2024-09-13 17:33:49 UTC

When hot air hits cold air and the gas turns into water

Typhoon

1553741 — 2024-09-13 17:37:12 UTC

When hot air and cold water join together and form a typhoon

they are caused by air-pressure disturbances often associated with fast-moving weather systems

Waterspout

Cold water moves across major lakes and results in major temperature differences between both temperature waters overriding

Hot springs

1557351 — 2024-09-13 17:44:37 UTC

A hot spring’s water is so hot it evaporates into gas above the hot spring. The molecules in the water originally had a little freedom of movement. But now that it is a gas they can move around freely.

Maelstrom

2024-09-13 17:46:33 UTC

It makes a strong whirlpool that forms when opposing currents meet to form swirling water.

lake baikal

lake baikal in siberia is the biggest lake ever to freeze over. It happens when extreme temperatures cause the lake to eventually turn into a thick sheet of ice

Hot Springs

2024-09-13 17:47:01 UTC

This is a phase change that occurs when subsurface magma heats water above ground, which creates steam.

A frozen lake

1561116 — 2024-09-13 19:02:23 UTC

There is a lake that is frozen because of the cold temperatures. The freezing water is caused literally from energy being cast out.

Morning Dew

2024-09-13 19:04:32 UTC

In the water there is water vapor in the air that eventually turns into liquid on the grass when it gets warmer. The molecules' freedom of movement decreases because the water vapor is losing energy.

Grand Canyon

2024-09-13 19:07:16 UTC

Grand Canyon. The water in the valley evaporates and then turns back into water.

Frozen river

2024-09-13 19:07:26 UTC

Rivers froze due to lack of energy and energy being removed. The temperature removes energy from the water and does not give it back. Due to this the molecules get less freedom of movement.

Icicles

EmeryW — 2024-09-13 19:08:44 UTC

When it is cold out and it rains, the liquid rain that is dripping of something experiences a phase change and becomes a solid icicle.

Frozen Tree Branch

1552211 — 2024-09-13 19:10:18 UTC

This is caused when the temperature gets to freezing temperatures and the water on the tree freezes.

Seamounts

1554222 — 2024-09-13 19:10:31 UTC

Amogh and Ishaan

Seamounts are underwater volcanoes that rise hundreds or thousands of feet above sea level.And are formed when two oceanic plates collide.

Hail

2024-09-13 19:13:05 UTC

Hail is an event that happens across the world. Hail occurs because regular raindrops are carried upward and freeze and then fall back down which causes hail. The freedom of movement gets lower because it turns from a liquid to a solid.

1554048 — 2024-09-13 19:13:07 UTC

When a volcano erupts, the lava is everywhere. After a few days, it cools down into igneous rock. The molecules in the lava have decreased freedom of movement.

Frozen methane bubbles, Canada

1680853 — 2024-09-13 19:13:41 UTC

When gas gets traps under water it creates weird phonomonams like this.

Hydrothermal Vents

1551272 — 2024-09-15 23:37:33 UTC

In the ocean, hydrothermal vents can form on the floor. The vents form when the cold water goes into cracks in the ocean floor and gets heated up by magma in the crust, which causes the water to rise up and exit the crust. Normally, the water would have evaporated, but the pressure of the ocean prevents it from turning into a gas. When the hot water leaves the crust, it brings other materials such as sulfur, copper, and iron. These materials in the hot water then mix with the near-freezing ocean water, which causes the materials to condense and form the chimneys that the vents spew materials out of.

Dust storm

1551984 — 2024-09-16 03:04:57 UTC

strong winds lift sand and dust from dry soils into the atmosphere, transporting particles over long distances

Glaciers

2024-09-17 00:51:26 UTC

Over time when it snows, certain edges and shapes are formed from the snow's weight causing some snow to build up or slide down, which is what gives glaciers their form. However, for glaciers to stay in their own structure, they need very cold weather to stay in their form which is a solid, or else they will experience a phase change and melt turning them into a liquid.
