What happens during condensation in the water cycle?

• Water droplets evaporate back into vapor.

• Water vapor cools and transforms into liquid water droplets.

• Water vapor heats up and turns into gas.

• Liquid water freezes into ice crystals.

What is runoff in relation to the water cycle?

• Runoff is the evaporation of water from the surface.

• Runoff refers to the absorption of water into the soil.

• Runoff is the process of water being stored in underground aquifers.

• Runoff is the movement of water across the land surface into bodies of water.

What is the atmosphere?

• The atmosphere is the layer of gases surrounding Earth and other celestial bodies.

• The atmosphere is the core of the Earth where nuclear reactions occur.

• The atmosphere is a solid layer of rock beneath the Earth's surface.

How does water return to the ground after evaporation?

• Water remains in the atmosphere indefinitely after evaporation.

• Water is absorbed by plants directly from the air.

• Water returns to the ground after evaporation through precipitation.

• Water is converted into vapor and lost forever.

What is the water cycle?

• The water cycle refers to the movement of water only within the oceans.

• The water cycle is the method of purifying water through evaporation and condensation.

• The water cycle is the process of water circulating from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere and back.

• The water cycle is the process of water being stored in underground reservoirs.

What forms when water vapor cools and condenses?
