How does the sun's energy contribute to the process of evaporation in the water cycle?

• It cools down the water, causing it to evaporate.

• It heats up the water, turning it into vapor.

• It freezes the water, making it evaporate.

• It adds salt to the water, causing evaporation.

What role does the sun play in the process of condensation within the water cycle?

• The sun directly causes condensation by cooling the air.

• The sun provides energy that eventually leads to cooling and condensation.

• The sun removes energy from water vapor, causing it to condense.

• The sun has no role in condensation.

Which of the following best describes how the sun's energy affects precipitation?

• The sun's energy directly causes rain to fall.

• The sun's energy evaporates water, which eventually leads to precipitation.

• The sun's energy freezes water droplets, causing them to fall as rain.

• The sun's energy has no effect on precipitation.

In the water cycle, what is the relationship between evaporation and condensation?

• Evaporation and condensation are unrelated processes.

• Evaporation turns water into vapor, and condensation turns vapor back into liquid.

• Evaporation and condensation both turn water into ice.

• Evaporation and condensation both occur only at night.

How does the sun's energy influence the process of transpiration in plants?

• The sun's energy causes plants to stop releasing water vapor.

• The sun's energy helps plants release water vapor into the air.

• The sun's energy makes plants absorb more water from the air.

• The sun's energy has no effect on transpiration.
