Cloud Formation. Condensation can form dew, fog, or clouds. Condensation is when water vapor changes to a liquid. . Condensation must have saturation to happen. . Air Compression and Expansion. When air is compressed, the motion of the gas particles increases and the air temperature increases. . reduction in summertime . light . rainfall over mountains compared with plains in . Eastern .
