When water vapor is cooled and forms droplets of liquid water

• Condensation

• Evaporation

• Transpiration

• Runoff

Precipitation occurs because 

• the droplets evaporate in the air
• the droplets are too light for the air to hold
• the droplets are too heavy for the air to hold

__________________ is the process by which moisture is carried through plants from roots to small pores on the underside of leaves, where it changes to vapor and is released to the atmosphere. It is essentially evaporation of water from plant leaves.

• Transpiration

• Percolation

• Infiltration

• Plant Uptake

What follows evaporation during the water cycle? How does this occur?

• Water evaporates into water vapor
• Water vapor condenses and forms a  cloud
• Water precipitates to the ground
• Water runs down into the hydrosphere
