As a sample of water turns to ice

• new molecules are formed as the water gains thermal energy
• the mass of the sample is increased as the water gains thermal energy
• the arrangement of the molecules changes as the water loses thermal energy
• thermal energy is absorbed by the molecules, resulting in a change of state

The diagram shows the process of evaporation over the ocean.
What is the most likely effect of this process on the land areas nearby?

• Increased drought conditions
• Decreased erosion of the shoreline
• Increased precipitation
• Increased solar energy

Which of the following best models the interaction between water and the sun's heat energy during precipitation?

• 
•
