Intro to Weather and Water Cycle

Which of the following processes in the water cycle is a direct result of the Sun's energy?

• Clouds form from condensation that occurs when water vapor in the atmosphere cools.

• Precipitation falls from clouds when they become too heavy.

• Water flows through streams and rivers to collect into lakes and oceans.

• Water evaporates from lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans and forms water vapor.
