What would happen if the Sun is removed from the water cycle?
The water cycle would not include precipitation but would continue with groundwater flow.
The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides the energy for evaporation and transpiration.
The water cycle would no longer occur because the Sun provides energy for the formation of clouds.
The water cycle would not include evaporation and transpiration but would continue with condensation.

Z
Analyze the diagram of the water cycle with processes J, K, L, M, X, and Y labeled. What is significant about the process labeled L?
Condensation is the conversion of water vapor into water droplets.
Precipitation is the release of liquid or frozen forms of water from the atmosphere.
Evaporation is the conversation of surface water into water vapor to return to the atmosphere.
Transpiration is the release of water vapor from plants back into the water cycle.
