Master all the Forms of Condensation in this crucial mindmap video for UPSC CSE/IAS. This is a foundational topic in Climatology (Physical Geography, GS Paper 1) that explains what happens when water vapour in the air turns into liquid or solid.

This session is essential for both Prelims and Mains, helping you clearly differentiate between Dew, Frost, Fog, Mist, and the various types of Clouds.



► *Core Concept Review:*
► What is Condensation? (Water vapour to liquid/solid)
► When does it happen? (When air is saturated, i.e., at **Dew Point**)
► What does it need? (**Hygroscopic Nuclei** - dust, salt, pollen)

► *Forms of Condensation (Mindmap Breakdown):*

► *1. On or Near the Ground (Below Dew Point):*
► *Dew:* Condensation on a surface (e.g., grass) when Dew Point is above freezing (0°C).
► *Frost:* Deposition (gas to solid) on a surface when Dew Point is at or below freezing (0°C).
► *Fog:* A cloud at the ground level, reducing visibility significantly.
► *Types of Fog:* Radiation Fog, Advection Fog, Upslope Fog, Frontal Fog.
► *Mist:* Less dense than fog (better visibility).

► *2. In the Upper Atmosphere (Clouds):*
► *Definition:* A visible mass of water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere.
► *Classification of Clouds (High-Yield):*
► *High Clouds (Cirrus, Cirrostratus, Cirrocumulus):* Wispy, made of ice crystals.
► *Middle Clouds (Altostratus, Altocumulus):* Puffy or sheet-like.
► *Low Clouds (Stratus, Stratocumulus, Nimbostratus):* Dark, layered, Nimbostratus gives rain.
► *Vertical Development Clouds (Cumulus, Cumulonimbus):*
► *Cumulus:* Puffy, cotton-like, "fair weather" clouds.
► *Cumulonimbus:* The "thundercloud," brings heavy rain, lightning, hail.

This mindmap format is scientifically designed for better retention and quick revision.
