Define condensation.

• The process by which liquid water is changed into water vapor in the air.

Describe how condensation occurs.

• Water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water droplets.

• Water vapor in the air heats up and changes into liquid water droplets.

• Condensation happens when the air becomes less humid and drier.

• Condensation occurs when liquid water evaporates into water vapor.

How does precipitation happen?

• Precipitation is caused by the rotation of the Earth

• Precipitation occurs when the temperature of the atmosphere drops below freezing

• Condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere

• Precipitation happens when the sun shines directly on the water

What is transpiration?

• The process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts

• The process of water movement through the soil

• The process of water absorption by the roots of a plant

• The process of water condensation in the atmosphere

Explain the role of transpiration in the water cycle.

• Transpiration helps in the water cycle by adding moisture to the atmosphere, which then condenses to form clouds and eventually falls back to the Earth as precipitation.

• Transpiration has no role in the water cycle

• Transpiration causes the atmosphere to lose moisture

• Transpiration only contributes to the formation of clouds

Define infiltration.

• Process by which water condenses in the soil

• Process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil

• Process by which water evaporates from the soil

• Process by which water flows from the soil to the ground surface
