How will the Sun’s energy affect the ocean, rivers, and lakes? 

• The ocean water will increase due to the runoff of the rivers. 
• The rivers and lakes will increase because of more precipitation
• Heat from the Sun will cause liquid water to condense and form water vapor. 
• Heat from the Sun will cause liquid water to evaporate and form water vapor.
