How does energy from the Sun drive evaporation?

• it makes the water molecules too big

• it speeds up the water molecules and breaks their bonds

• it speeds up the water molecules and creates new bonds

reservoirs

• water storage areas during the water cycle

• places reserved for water usage by humans and animals

• made from water and ice that are too big to remain suspended in air

• made up of water droplets or ice crystals that are so small they remain suspended in the air
