As air molecules are heated by touching the warm
surface of the Earth, the speed at which the air
molecules move (1.)______________________.
This causes them to (2.) ____________ apart which
means the (3.)_____________ of space that they
occupy increases. That, in turn makes them
(4.) ______________ dense. Since more dense
substances (5.) _____________ and less dense
substances (6.) _________________, the heated air
will (7.) __________________. In the troposphere,
the air temperature gets (8.)__________________ as
you increase in altitude. Cooling of air makes the
molecules speed decrease and they move
(9.) __________________. This means that there is
(10.)__________ space available for water vapor
molecules. As water vapor molecules slow down or
lose kinetic energy they can changes back into liquid
form. This process is known as
(11.) _________________. Cloud droplets form
when water vapor molecules come into contact with
cold (12.) ___________ particles that exist in the
atmosphere. And this is how clouds form.
