What is the process by which water evaporates from the surface of the Earth and then falls back to the surface as precipitation?

• Hydrogen cycle

• Rainbow process

• H2O transformation

• Water cycle

What are the two main processes of the water cycle?

• Freezing and melting

• Evaporation and condensation

• Precipitation and transpiration

• Sublimation and deposition

What causes ocean currents?

• Moon phases and tides

• Fish migration patterns

• Underwater volcanoes

• Wind, temperature, and salinity differences

What are tides and what causes them?

• Tides are the result of the Earth's rotation on its axis

• Tides are caused by the wind blowing across the surface of the ocean

• Tides are caused by the temperature difference between the ocean and the atmosphere

• Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth.

How are lakes formed?

• Lakes are formed by alien technology
