Which of the following best explains the difference between condensation and precipitation?

• Condensation is the process of water vapor turning into liquid, while precipitation is the process of liquid water falling to the ground.

• Condensation is the process of liquid water falling to the ground, while precipitation is the process of water vapor turning into liquid.

• Condensation and precipitation are both processes of water vapor turning into liquid.

• Condensation and precipitation are both processes of liquid water falling to the ground.

Most local water budgets are not balanced because:

• they have equal inflow and outflow of water.

• they have more inflow than outflow of water.

• they have more outflow than inflow of water.

• they are affected by various environmental factors.

Vegetation and rainfall affect the local water budget by:

• increasing evaporation and transpiration, leading to more precipitation

• decreasing evaporation and transpiration, leading to less precipitation

• increasing water retention in the soil, reducing runoff

• decreasing water retention in the soil, increasing runoff

Describe five ways that you can conserve water at home.

The oceans are the location of most evaporation and precipitation because:

• they cover a large surface area of the Earth.

• they are closer to the sun.

• they have more aquatic life.

• they are deeper than other water bodies.
