The picture below shows a cumulonimbus cloud forming over an ocean. Which statement best explains how the sun and the ocean interact to form a cumulonimbus cloud?

• Heat from the sun warms the ocean, causing water to evaporate. The water vapor then condenses to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

• Heat from the sun causes clouds in the area to gather over the ocean and form one large cumulonimbus cloud.

• Light from the sun shines on the ocean, causing water vapor to condense. The water then evaporates to form a cumulonimbus cloud.

• Light from the sun causes ocean water to reflect water vapor into the air and gather over the ocean into a cumulonimbus cloud.

Which of the following explains how water undergoes a change of state in one stage of the water cycle in order to move from the ocean's surface into the air?

• Liquid water that is heated by the sun becomes a gas and rises.

• Gaseous water rises as it is cooled by the ocean.

• Liquid water that is heated by the sun condenses into rain.

• Gaseous water in the atmosphere condenses as clouds and falls as rain

This photograph shows a beach on a partly sunny day. Which of the following is an interaction between the sun and the ocean that results in clouds forming near the beach?

• Energy from the sun causes precipitation over the ocean.

• Energy from the sun causes water to evaporate from the ocean.

• Light from the sun reflects off the surface of the ocean.

• Light from the sun decreases the amount of water vapor in the air over the ocean.

Students in a 5th grade science class performed the experiment below. They filled a bag partially with water and taped it to a window on a sunny day. After 2 hours the students observed that the bag above the water began to look cloudy. Why does the bag appear to look cloudy?

• Energy from the sun causes liquid water to turn into water vapor.

• Energy from the air in the bag heats up and begins to boil.

• Energy from the sun heats the ice cubes in the bag and cause them to melt into liquid water.

• Part of the water escapes the bag and condensation is happening on the outside.
