The outdoor stage dish
Made-up story. In a pretend theatre courtyard, an open dish contains liquid water at one review. At a later review, less liquid water is shown. Nobody has supplied a spill record, an exact measured change or the amount that went along each possible path. Mika wants one possible explanation. A separate drawing shows lake liquid, vapour in air, cloud droplets and water falling from a cloud to ocean. The drawing is a possible water-cycle path, with no clock or forecast.
Four questions
- What could some liquid water become? Name the change.
- Is the vapour itself visible?
- Name the change that forms the cloud droplets, and the process taking water from cloud to ocean.
- What can't this dish story tell us?
