When water is heated in the ocean by the sun and turns into water vapor

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

After condensation, the droplets of water in the clouds fall to Earth in different forms...

• precipitation

• condensation

• evaporation

The sun's energy

• changes daily

• heats the ocean before evaporation

• directly causes evaporation

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are too light for the air to hold

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

What is the water cycle?

• the 3 forms of water
• the movement of water on, above, or below the surface of the Earth
• when water melts
• when clouds form
