The water cycle is shown in the diagram. What would most likely happen if all evaporation of water stopped?

Moist air would be in the atmosphere.

Analyze the diagram of the water cycle with processes J, K, L, M, X, and Y labeled. What is significant about the process labeled L?

Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants back into the water cycle.

Condensation is the conversion of water vapor into water droplets.

Precipitation is the release of liquid or frozen forms of water from the atmosphere.

Evaporation is the conversation of surface water into water vapor to return to the atmosphere.

Analyze the diagram of the water cycle with processes J, K, L, M, Y, and Y labeled. What do the arrows X and Y represent?

Run-off of surface water and movement of ground water toward sea level.

Sea and land breezes along the coastline.

Formation of dew as cold air sinks.

Tidal flooding and erosion of the river bank.

What is condensation ?

The part of the water cycle when the water vapor in the air gets cold. The water turns back into a liquid and forms clouds.

The part of the water cycle when the sun heats up water, turning it from a liquid into water vapor or steam. It rises from the ground into the air.

The part of the water cycle when clouds get heavy and can no longer hold the liquid water. This causes the water to fall from the sky to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail.
