Which statement is the BEST comparison between Earth's water cycle and the model described?

• The water evaporates down into the model's soil, instead of into the air.

• The ice cube in the model represents condensation in Earth's water cycle.

• When the ice melts, it will model infiltration as it absorbs into the soil.

• Condensation occurs in the model's soil, like it occurs in clouds for Earth
