3) When condensation occurs, what type of energy is released?
During condensation thermal, or heat, energy is released. During condensation, the water must release some of its energy in order to become a liquid. The kinetic energy of the gas is higher than that of the liquid. Therefore, when the gas is changing to a liquid, it must release energy so that the molecules can move closer together and become a liquid. During condensation, for every 1 gram of water vapor, 540 calories of heat energy will be released.

4) How is this energy returned into the atmosphere in the form of potential energy?
It is returned as kinetic energy when the water once again evaporates. When the water evaporates, it must gain thermal energy in order to be able to change into a liquid. As soon as it turns into water vapor, it now has 540 calories of energy stored. This stored energy has the potential to be released, as soon as the energy turns into water vapor.

this could recommend that the abode has the possibility to sink or circulate over the years. that's like a house that "settles" while the earth below that's not compacted. the load of the form would reason it to sink in heavier spots, finally inflicting cracks interior the commencing up, partitions, or roof. at times you could finally end up with a sink hollow. that's a similar theory of it is being defined relating to the possibility of glaciers melting in Greenland. the water is melting yet happening in holes interior the midst of the glacier, this water will finally build up below the glacier and act as a "lubricant" allowing particular aspects of the glacier to slip off the land into the sea. Watch the documentary - Inconvenient actuality (with Al Gore in it) to visualise what's happening.
