Lake Okeechobee is in Florida. The map below shows where the lake is in the state. How would water most likely move from the Gulf of Mexico to Lake Okeechobee?

• by ocean water flowing up a river that joins with the lake

• by ocean flooding and water flowing overland into the lake

• by ocean water evaporating and entering the lake when it rains

• by water seeping through the ocean floor and welling up into the lake

Surface water evaporates as part of the water cycle. The water in the air then turns into clouds during condensation. Which statement describes how water changes state during this process?

• The water in the air is a gas; it stays a gas to form the clouds.

• The water in the air is a gas; it turns into a liquid to form the clouds.

• The water in the air is a liquid; it turns into a solid to form the clouds.

• The water in the air is a solid; it turns into a liquid to form the clouds.
