How does the Sun's energy affect the water cycle?
The Sun's energy evaporates water so there is less water for the water cycle.
The Sun's energy melts the icebergs sos that there is more water for the water cycle.
The Sun's energy gives light so each part of the water cycle can be seen.
The Sun's energy warms water so that it evaporates and rises into the air.
Which step of the water cycle describes condensation?
Water falls to the Earth as rain
The Sun heats up the lake and makes water vapor
The water vapor cools to form a cloud in the sky
Water runs off into lakes
When water evaporates from the ocean, the amount of water in the air -
increases

stays the same
disappears
