• the sun

• lightning

• wind

During which stage do clouds form?

where does water go when it evaporates

• it turns into water vapor and goes high in the air.

• it turns into ice and sinks to the bottom.

• it remains in liquid form and stays in the same place.

• it transforms into steam and spreads out on the ground.

How can water vapor in the air return to Earth?

• evaporates into the atmosphere

• condenses then precipitates

• is absorbed by plants

• is filtered by the soil

Evaporation occurs when water changes into
