What can be a valid interpretation of the data?

• The temperature in the Thermosphere decreases with increasing altitude.

• The Stratosphere is the warmest layer except in its upper region.

• The Mesosphere is the warmest layer of Earth’s atmosphere.

• The temperature in the Troposphere increases with decreasing altitude.

A student examines the processes of evaporation and condensation in the water cycle by filling a beaker with water and covering the beaker with a glass lid. She positions a lamp so that its light shines on the beaker, as shown in the image.

The student finds that condensation did not significantly collect on the glass lid. What change should the student make in the design process to make her results more accurate?

• Remove the lid and leave the beaker open to the light from lamp.

• Remove the lid and cover the beaker with a dark cloth.

• Turn the lid over and place some ice cubes on it.

• Turn the lid over and pour some warm water on it.

The diagram shows various stages of the water cycle labeled P, Q, R, and S.

Which statement about the stages of the water cycle is correct?

• Stage P is evaporation, which occurs immediately after stage Q, which shows condensation.

• Stage Q is condensation, which occurs immediately after stage P, which shows evaporation.

• Stage R is evaporation, which occurs immediately before stage S, which shows precipitation.

• Stage Q is condensation, which occurs immediately before stage P, which shows precipitation.
