Lesson Review

Lesson Review

Answer : When I breath out, I release water vapor from my lungs into
the atmosphere. During the process of respiration, water that was
once a part of the biosphere cycles into the atmosphere.

Lesson Review

Answer : The process of evaporation would separate the water from
the salt. Next, freshwater could be produced through condensation.
