• Solid, Liquid, and Gas

• Liquid, Gas, and Plasma

What is the process called when water changes from liquid to gas?

• Evaporation

• Collection

• Precipitation

• Condensation

During which phase do clouds form in the water cycle?

• Collection

• Precipitation

• Evaporation

• Condensation

What happens during the precipitation phase of the water cycle?

• Water collects in rivers and lakes

• Water changes from gas to liquid

• Water droplets fall to the Earth as rain, hail, or snow

• Water vapor rises into the atmosphere

Why is it important to keep seas and rivers clean?

• To maintain water's solid form

• To prevent evaporation

• To stop water from turning into gas

• To ensure water is available for the water cycle
