• Evaporation, Condensation, Precipitation

• Precipitation, Condensation, Evaporation

• Condensation, Evaporation, Precipitation

• Evaporation, Precipitation, Condensation

What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?

• The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.

• The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.

• The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

On Earth, what process generates most of the water vapor?

• Condensation

• Evaporation
