Water in lakes and rivers that does not contain salt-

• recycled water
• new water
• salt water
• fresh water

When water vapor s cooled and forms droplets-

• Condensation
• Evaportation
• Transpiration
• Run-off

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

• precipitation 
• condensation
• evaporation 
• ground water

Forms of precipitation are-

• only sleet and snow
• rain, sleet, hail, and snow
• only dew and rain 
• only snow and rain

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

The sun's energy 

• changes daily
• heats the ocean before evaporation
• directly causes evaportation

More evaporation occurs 

• at night 
• during the day
