If water was heated in an experiment by a hot plate to model the water cycle, the hot plate represents

• the wind

• the moon

• the sun

Precipitation occurs because

• the droplets evaporate in the air

• the droplets are to light for the air to hold

• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

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

• precipitation

• condensation

• evaporation
