The sun causes evaporation by heating water molecules until they speed up and spread out, entering the air as water vapor. Plants take in water through their roots and it moves up the stem and into the leaves. Transpiration then occurs. Animals, including people, breathe out, or exhale, in the process of respiration. Which three words name when water enters the atmosphere?

Evaporation, Transpiration, Respiration

Precipitation, Evaporation, Condensation

Respiration, Precipitation, Condensation

Tranpiration, Condensation, Precipitation
