Noah and David went to the beach on a hot summer day. They noticed the water level in the ocean seemed to decrease as the day went on. What could be causing this?

• The Sun's thermal energy

• The Moon's gravitational pull

• The wind

• The Earth's magnetic field

Grace, Scarlett, and James were conducting an experiment. They noticed that when they boiled water and let the steam rise, something happened when the steam lost its thermal energy. What was that?

• It condenses back to liquid water to form clouds

• It turns into ice

• It disappears into space

• It becomes saltwater
